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.

The school works hard to provide for the kids outside of school by offering a food pantry, and working with our local YMCA to put on events.

The teachers are all fairly nice and helpful. Of course, as with all schools, there are some teachers that are difficult to learn from.

My time at Towanda High School was unforgettable. All of the students, teachers and other faculty are all so welcoming to everyone that walks through those doors. There is a very supportive nature among the community of the school. There is a place for everyone as there is an incredibly accepting atmosphere and that is something I will always treasure about Towanda High School.

Not a good place. Especially for kids with learning disabilities. Was told they shouldn't have to give my daughter with dyslexia any help because it isn't their fault she is "slow"They would rather just push her to the side so to speak than to help in anyway.

Not a good school at all. Had to remove my children due to bullying by a faculty member. And was told by the school that they could not provide a safe learning environment.
