School Overview

Tucked into the northeastern Pennsylvania hills near Scranton, Valley View High School is a strong academic option for families in the Lackawanna County area who want a well-rounded public school experience without the bustle of a bigger city. The school particularly shines in English and Science, making it a solid fit for students who thrive in reading, writing, and lab-based learning. Archbald itself is a tight-knit borough with a small-town feel, where Friday night football and community pride run deep — the kind of place where parents are genuinely invested in the school and kids tend to know their teachers by name.
