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.

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 think Hazleton Area Highschool is pretty good. The main highschool has quite a lot of kids. While that is not personally something I enjoy, others like the social aspect of it. I like that students are given the option to apply for branches of the high school relating to STEM and the arts.

Being in Hazleton has introduced me to so many different people and cultures. I've made so many friends. However I've always felt that the school funded the sports more than anything, and it really showed. Most staff members are cold towards the student body, treating us like delinquents no matter the student. The classes barely helped anyone retain anything, and fights are a regular occurrence.

Kids are actually graduating from this school and have no idea who JFK or MLK are. They are not prepared for life, college or anything else except to go to a community college that will take anyone. The students that do get into Universities and Colleges of mediocre standards, do so because they wer...
