South Scranton Intermediate School Scranton PA 18505--I think school is one of the best middle schools in Scranton. My daughter is just starting out in this school and she loves it. She loves the fact they can switch classes and have different teachers for different classes. The way they can improve in their scheduling of classes not so far from each other b/c as I followed my daughter's schedule on back to school night I now understand why she she is late for wood shop coming from gym class!!! Gym class being down 3 hallways and then 4 sets of stairs to make it to the basemen in one minute and 30 seconds. I wasn't the only teacher who arrived huffing and puffing by the time the bell rang and we were 5-10 minutes late. Just saying maybe schedule some classes near each other b/c this was a very difficult task. thank you Marilou Talarico

This school is very old and in need of repair including no air conditioning- which causes a huge problem at the end of the year on the third floor when students are trying to concentrate on taking their final exams! The principal is lacking the skills needed to be an effective leader. Some of the teachers are very good and go the extra mile for ALL of their students, while the majority set a bad example, do not care to put in extra effort for the kids that need it, and the teachers and principal do not work well together. (The school does not even have a fax machine- if that says something.) I believe in the Scranton area high school students can choose whether to attend West Scranton High o Scranton High. I would choose Scranton High for sure.

Very good whenever I had a concern it was addressed in a professional mannor and immediately
