Private, Catholic education has been dying in Pennsylvania for a long time.

The Catholic Church would not subsidize their members for schooling. PA public schools let Catholic kids out for “selective education”.

The most robust Catholic schools are urban/semi-urban. The charter schools are crazy and incompetent.

If you want Catholic education, that’s mostly urban/semi-urban.

The most robust anything, anywhere, is urban/semi-urban. Goods and services go where the customers are.
 
If you're choosing to live in a place like Bradford County, you're choosing to do without some things. It's a game of trade-offs. My grandmother owned a beautiful plot of land up there but when she died we sold it, because I'd never live there.

Middle Paxton Township has what you are looking for w/ the public schools busing you to Holy Name / Bishop McDevit.

15-30 mins from every major retail store w/ Blue Mountain in between. Appalachian Trail in your backyard, surrounded my PA Gamelands.

2 hours from Philly, 3 from New York.

I can’t recommend it enough, it’s where I grew up, and where I live now after 20 years in the Philly area.

if the priests weren't caught assaulting children and dioceses trying to cover it up, maybe it'd be different
