Coldest I've been since leaving NY is when I went back to visit. We dont get the wind that ny gets. So while temperature is lower, wind chill makes ny colder.
Schools: 1 day school. As close to yeshivish as you can get while still having both boys and girls. Mixed. Separated for hebrew in 4th grade and English in 7th.
Option of lubavitch school in Kingston-about 25 minutes away-16 or so miles from scranton. Not a fun drive on snowy days.
High schools: 2 girls bais yakov type schools. 20-30 girls total between the 2 schools.
Boys high schools: oot yeshiva based in scranton. And chabad in kingston.
Chassidim: a few who are not of the chassidic geirim (who are an amazing group of people). Those few will daven in the lubavitch shul ohev tzedek.

The MO shul doesn't have a school connected to it.
It's just a shul |
Amother linen, you are wrong about this and the bais yakov/bnos yisroel situation. Beth shalom academy opened last year. They are located in the Beth shalom shul and advertise as MO.
Bais yakov has never been MO. And never closed and reopened. And they are not a kiruv school. The chaddish geirim families send there, but so do others.
The 2 schools are same hashkafa. If its relevant to anyone, they can pm me for the reason why there are 2 BY type schools here.
