Description

Delaware Valley is a state and nationally recognized school district serving approximately 4,400 students in seven schools. There are four elementary schools, two middle schools and one comprehensive high school located in Pike County, PA. Our area is known as the Tri-State area because PA, NY and NJ all meet here along the Delaware River. Our beautiful valley is nestled between PA’s Pocono Mountains and NY’s Catskill Mountains. Hiking, biking, hunting and fishing are common throughout our area.
