School Overview

Pocono Mountain West Junior High sits in the heart of the Pocono region, where families have settled for the mountain scenery, outdoor recreation, and more affordable living compared to nearby New York and New Jersey suburbs. Academically, the school performs in the lower quarter of Pennsylvania junior highs, so families who prioritize strong test scores may want to look closely at how students are supported and what enrichment options are available. That said, the area has a close-knit, outdoorsy character, and families drawn to hiking, skiing, and a slower pace of life will find a community that reflects those values both inside and outside the classroom.
