School Overview

Nazareth is a tight-knit borough in the Lehigh Valley with a small-town feel that's close enough to Easton and Bethlehem to give families the best of both worlds. Shafer Elementary sits comfortably in the upper tier of Pennsylvania schools, with math scores that really stand out and solid performance across the board — the kind of school where kids are genuinely prepared as they move up through the grades. Families who want a strong suburban school without the chaos of a big district tend to love what Nazareth Area has to offer, and Shafer is a big part of that appeal.
