The Allentown School District, Pennsylvania's 5th largest school district, serves a richly diverse student population with unique strengths and needs. Allentown is considered a “majority-minority” city, and this diversity is reflected in our schools, where 92.5% of students belong to a racial or ethnic minority group. Specifically, the district's student body comprises a wealth of backgrounds, contributing to the community's vibrant cultural identity.

Alongside this diversity, we also serve a large percentage of students who are economically disadvantaged (77.6%) and students for whom English is not their first language (65%). This results in 19.3% of our students identifying as English Language Learners. We are committed to meeting the needs of all learners, including the 18.2% of our student population enrolled in special education programs.

The District also provides support for particularly vulnerable students, including those experiencing homelessness, who comprise 3.2% of our student body. We address these diverse needs through a multifaceted approach, leveraging federal funding and innovative solutions to expand access to critical resources, including 24/7 support like tutoring, physical and mental health options, and counseling.

The Allentown School District is dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where all students, regardless of their circumstances, can thrive and achieve success.
