Pittston Area Senior High School

Pittston Area Senior High School serves a tight-knit working-class community in the Wyoming Valley region of northeastern Pennsylvania, where local pride runs deep and the school is very much a centerpiece of town life. Academics are a work in progress, with scores sitting below the state midpoint across most subjects, so families with strong academic priorities may want to weigh their options — though students who thrive in a close community environment and smaller-city setting often find their footing here. Pittston itself has a charming old downtown and easy access to Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, making it a reasonable home base for families who value that northeastern PA sense of place.
