Hello and Welcome to the Parkland School District.
The Parkland School District is located in the Lehigh Valley, a growing region in eastern Pennsylvania. This area comprises Lehigh and Northampton counties and includes the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton, as well as numerous townships. The Lehigh Valley has almost 708,000 residents and is within a day’s drive of one-third of the U.S. population.
Eleven colleges and universities in the Lehigh Valley graduate approximately 10,000 students annually. The community places high expectations on students and educational programs and strongly supports learning initiatives.
The 72 square miles of the Parkland School District encompass three townships with a population of approximately 64,000. The District’s socioeconomic diversity results from its location, which borders Allentown on the southeast and extends to farmland in the west and north.
The Parkland School District has nine elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school, serving approximately 10,000 students.
