Wilkes-Barre Area School District

Know your school choice options in Pennsylvania.

In Pennsylvania some districts allow children to transfer to schools outside their district (called interdistrict choice). They can also attend charter schools. Low-income students are eligible for scholarship funding to attend private schools.

Under the federal No Child Left Behind law, students attending a Title I school designated as “in need of improvement” have the right to attend a higher performing school in the district.
