Yeah Monroe is definitely closest. I'm in Pike and I'd stay here if the schools were better
Our local SD is fair for K-8, better than our surrounding SDs by leaps and bounds. The high school is mediocre in the stats but again, better than the HS in the surrounding SDs. If we had kids we'd have probably went the Catholic school route K-8 and private for HS.
I think for many folks they didn't really look at the local schools before buying. You would think for the amount of school taxes we're paying the schools would be far better than they are, especially in Monroe.
Nearly all of PA's best schools fall near Philly. Closest on the list to NEPA is in Breiginsville (near Allentown) Lehigh Valley schools outperform the Poconos and have for years. But the costs of living in LV are higher as well.
PA area is the new drug mills since NJ police stepped up on drug raids in the past so it's moved to PA. The drug business is so huge in this area it is still doing extremely well during this pandemic and the BLM movement help drug dealers even more. I'm just shocked haven't seen many OD cases, maybe there are just not reported.
I have seen some of the suspicious looking PA registered vehicles in the city. I had to chuckle and will have to tell a relative of mine that they're now in the less than reputable category because they have an Infiniti and live in Montgomery County, PA, though he usually takes Amtrak to his Manhattan office as opposed to driving.

I've heard that Paupack is a good district. I think I'm actually in the district too
most of these areas near the lake are excellent ....
it is a lot of boaters and they are part timers .. lake wallenpaupack has 50 miles of shoreline and is a boaters mecca . we all had to pay school taxes even though we are part timers and don't use the schools ..
it leaves the schools very well funded based on the number of kids that actually go.
i much preferred where we were in lake wallenpaupack to pauapack
