Solomon/Plains Middle School

Solomon/Plains Middle School sits in the township of Plains, just outside Wilkes-Barre in the heart of the Wyoming Valley — a region with deep industrial roots and a tight-knit community feel that's still finding its footing academically. Families here tend to be deeply connected to the area and value the local ties that come with a neighborhood school, though those prioritizing strong test performance may want to explore additional enrichment options outside the classroom. It's the kind of place where kids grow up knowing their neighbors, and the surrounding Luzerne County landscape — with the Susquehanna River nearby and the Pocono Mountains not far off — offers plenty beyond the school day.
