LAKE-NOXEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Lake-Noxen El Sch is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Lake-Lehman SD school district, located in Harveys Lake, PA with about 303 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 27 teachers, Lake-Noxen El Sch has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Lake-Noxen Elementary School was a public primary school located in Harveys Lake, Pennsylvania, serving students within the Lake-Lehman School District. Situated in a rural community in Luzerne County, the school historically provided foundational education for children in the surrounding area, focusing on core academic subjects and early social development. As a small-town institution, it was known for fostering a close-knit environment where students benefited from the personalized attention typically found in smaller community-based schools.

In recent years, the Lake-Lehman School District underwent restructuring to modernize its facilities and consolidate resources. As part of these efforts, Lake-Noxen Elementary was closed, with its student body and operations transitioned to other facilities within the district, such as the nearby Lehman-Jackson Elementary. Today, while the original building at RR 3 Box 270 is no longer functioning as an active K-5 school, it remains a notable part of the district's history and the local community's educational legacy in the Harveys Lake region.
