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.

OF school district has been wonderful for my two kids. From the beginning in kindergarten both my kids had wonderful teachers along with school office staff and their own retired cop Mr Bob who always was at drop off and greated each child by there first name and always interacted with kids keeping them safe. OF is a small to moderate school district where kids and good education was there main priority.

My experience at Old Forge Junior/Senior High School, in general, was very pleasant. I was able to make friends that I will have for the rest of my life. The education system was also very good at delivering the information I needed as a student.
