Waverly School

Tucked into the quiet, wooded community of Waverly in northeastern Pennsylvania, this K-12 school is a standout in the Abington Heights district, consistently ranking among the top schools in the state — particularly in math, where it reaches near the very top. Families drawn to a slower-paced, tight-knit suburban lifestyle outside of Scranton will find a school that punches well above its size, with strong academics across the board and a real sense of community investment. It's the kind of place where neighbors know each other and parents tend to be deeply engaged in their kids' education.
