School Overview

Archbald is a quiet borough in the Lackawanna Valley, just north of Scranton, where the pace is slower and the community ties run deep — and Valley View Middle School reflects that close-knit character. The school shows some solid footing in English relative to its overall standing, though math and science scores suggest room for growth, making it a reasonable fit for families who value community over competition. Families drawn to small-town northeastern Pennsylvania life, with easy access to the Scranton area, will find this a familiar, neighborhood-feel school experience.
