School Overview

Union Terrace sits in the heart of Allentown's west side, a city that's seen significant reinvestment in recent years as part of the broader Lehigh Valley's growth. Families drawn to urban neighborhoods with a strong sense of cultural diversity will find a community-focused school here, though academics run below state averages across English, math, and science — something to weigh carefully if strong test performance is a priority. For families already rooted in this part of Allentown who value proximity and community connection over rankings, Union Terrace offers a familiar, neighborhood school feel within a district that is actively working to improve outcomes.
