[7] Old Forge School District has a cooperative agreement with Luzerne County Community College.

The Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit IU19 provides the district with a wide variety of services like specialized education for disabled students and hearing, speech and visual disability services and professional development for staff and faculty.

Originally, there were several elementary schools throughout Old Forge serving each section of town, such as Central, Lawrenceville, Moosic Road, Sussex, Sibley, and Rendham.

The high school was located on South Main Street (the site of the recently closed Ace Hardware, now Driscoll's), which housed grades 9–12.

Many feel that it was the building of a new school that saved Old Forge from the growing trend of jointures that was taking place throughout the area in the 1960s and 1970s.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Old Forge dominated the area in football and basketball, winning several league championships and conference titles.

Sixty years later in 1992, Old Forge won the Class "AA" state championship in baseball by beating Ridgway 15–5.

In 2009, the girls softball team reached the state championship game, only to lose 1–0 to Curwensville.
