North Pocono High School is a public, four-year high school located in Covington Township, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. The school building was built in 2009. It is the only high school in the North Pocono School District, which covers a vast territory in northeastern Pennsylvania, including parts of Wayne County and all of southern and east-central Lackawanna County.
North Pocono has been ranked as one of America's Most Challenging High Schools by the Washington Post for two consecutive years [2] and one of America's Best High Schools by Newsweek.[3] North Pocono is also one of two school districts nationwide to make the AP Honor Roll for six consecutive years.[4]
The old high school, on Church Street in the borough of Moscow, is now the North Pocono Middle School and houses grades 6 through 8, with the new high school containing grades 9 through 12.
There are over 70 faculty members, which creates a teacher-student ratio of 1:15. Each grade consists of 220-280 students.
