What is a great city or township to live in near the Poconos with a school system?|148274

My mom is considering a move to the Poconos area and we_re looking for a great city or township that has a good school system and within commutable distance to NYC.

Well...NJ is high in taxes, but the further west on Rt 80 you go, makes the commute all that much longer.
Mt Olive has a great school system. Blairstown is good, other towns further East are good I am sure, but the further East you go, the more expensive to live...but people do it!

Maybe Marshalls Creek Pa
I_ve been there it_s beautiful, and not far from NY
