About Us:

Scranton is a district of talented students; dedicated, hard-working staff; committed parents; and interested community members. In spite of the district’s many strengths, we know that not all of our schools are high performing, and not every student is well prepared for life after high school. An initial review of student and school performance indicates a need for improvement across the board.
