Palmerton Area High School

The elementary school was decent a few years ago but has drastically gone down hill. I pay the same taxes as people in other school districts south of Palmerton but get so much less. There are a few good and dedicated teachers. However there are also many problmes that need to be addressed rather than continuing to ignore. I tried to compensate for the lack of instruction my children received by teaching them, but we finally got to the point that putting our children in private schools is the only option. This has created a hardship for my family but our children's education is most important. Also, the lack of diversity in this school district is very disconcerting! Parent involvement is good, but too much causes issues too!

Average school, but more concerned with taxing the community to fund their buying properties & upgrading sports fields. The taxes raise while test scores fall.
