PRESTON SCHOOL

Preston Sch is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Wayne Highlands SD school district, located in Lakewood, PA with about 168 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th 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 15 teachers, Preston 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.

Based on available records, here is a description of the Preston School:

The Preston School, located at 1493 Crosstown Highway in Lakewood, Pennsylvania, is a primary educational facility serving the Preston Township area within Wayne County. As a component of the Wayne Highlands School District, the school is dedicated to providing foundational education for students in the local rural community. It operates with a focus on core academic instruction, aiming to foster a supportive learning environment that emphasizes student development and community engagement within the pastoral setting of the Poconos region.

The facility serves as a central educational hub for families in the Lakewood area, offering a traditional curriculum designed to prepare students for transition into the broader district secondary schools. Because of its location in a smaller, rural township, the school maintains a close-knit atmosphere where staff and local families often collaborate closely. It is recognized for its commitment to maintaining small class settings and providing the essential resources necessary to meet state educational standards for elementary-aged learners.
