School Overview

Washington Heights Elementary sits in Lemoyne, a small borough just across the Susquehanna River from Harrisburg, where the community has a tight-knit, small-town feel despite being minutes from the state capital. The school lands in the middle of the pack statewide, making it a solid neighborhood option for families who value the quieter, residential pace of the West Shore suburbs without straying far from the city. Families drawn to the area tend to appreciate the easy access to Harrisburg's amenities — parks, museums, and the riverfront — while coming home to a more affordable, low-key community.
