GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've gone to wallenpaupack for all 13 years of my school career (K-12). For a school that the majority of the families have fallen below the poverty line, it is very well off. The teachers here actually care about their students and go above and beyond to help them.

A really good thing about Wallenpaupack is their CTE programs that help prepare you for occupations you may go into in the future. A downside of the school is there is not many activities for students to participate in.
