Paxtang Elementary School

Paxtang Elementary sits in a quiet, established neighborhood just east of Harrisburg, where tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community give it a small-town feel despite being close to the state capital. Families who value a tight-knit school environment and easy access to everything the greater Harrisburg area has to offer will feel at home here, though academics tend to run below the middle of the pack statewide. It's a school that may appeal most to families who are actively involved in their child's education and looking to supplement classroom learning with the cultural and civic resources the capital region provides.
