School Overview

Tucked into the Pocono foothills of northeastern Pennsylvania, Wayne Highlands Middle School serves the tight-knit community of Honesdale — a small town with a genuine small-town feel, where neighbors know each other and school events actually draw a crowd. With particularly strong math and science scores that push into the 90th percentile statewide, this is a school that punches well above its rural setting, making it a great fit for families who want a rigorous academic environment without the pressure-cooker atmosphere of a big suburban district. If you're drawn to lakeside living, outdoor recreation, and a community where the school is still a central part of town life, Wayne Highlands Middle School is a real bright spot in the region.
