I've heard good things about Pittston schools. If I was to move out of Scranton (which I probably won't be) I would probably move to either Riverside or Pittson Area school districts. Pittston Area has the added bonus of probably being in the most convenient location in the area.

unless things have changed since I grew up in the area, Abington and North Pocono were always the top of this list.
