Summary:

The 18626 zip code area is home to two schools - Sullivan County Elementary School and Sullivan County Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Sullivan County School District.

Both schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage compared to the state average.
