The city of Hazle Township, Pennsylvania is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Hazleton Area School District.

Academically, the schools in Hazle Township struggle, with students at Hazleton Area High School performing significantly below state averages on Keystone Exams. The middle and elementary schools also show low proficiency rates on standardized tests.

The student population in Hazle Township is predominantly Hispanic, ranging from 62.95% at the high school to 87.22% at the elementary school. This, combined with high rates of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility, suggests the schools serve a low-income, minority community.

Addressing the systemic challenges within the Hazleton Area School District will be crucial to providing a high-quality education for all students in the area.
