School Overview

West Scranton Intermediate sits in one of Scranton's older, tight-knit working-class neighborhoods, where the community pride runs deep even if standardized test scores present some real academic challenges to work through. Families who are engaged and proactive about supplementing their kids' education — think tutoring, after-school programs, or strong at-home reading habits — will want to go in with eyes open, as performance in English, math, and science all fall in the lower range compared to Pennsylvania schools statewide. That said, Scranton itself is an affordable, genuinely authentic northeastern Pennsylvania city with a lot of character, and families committed to the West Side community will find neighbors who care about their kids and their block.
