aren't familiar with the area. Does anyone have ideas on a good town for a family with young kids. Good schools are important to us.

We currently live in the area and LOVE it! We moved from New Mexico and have not had too much of an adjustment (other than weather :))

Dear Alisha,

I know just how you feel...having to pick and move to an area completely unfamiliar. I had to do that when I moved here (near Hackettstown) three years ago.

Having children in school systems, a husband who grew up in the Hackettstown area, a small business to run, I quickly became knowledgeable and well established in the community. The good news is I am a neighborhood specialist for Hackettstown and its surrounding areas.

I am quite knowledgeable about the school systems in the surrounding areas since my daughter will attend one school district and my stepsons attend another nearby school district. I can send you some more information or feel free to visit my website to get community reports.

If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Johanna Harrison

Hi,
You can get alot of information on schools from the following sites...

State of NJ maintains a "report card" on all schools in the state......Read these reports here:
http://education.state.nj.us/rc/rc07/index.html

Two independent sites worth reading are:
http://GreatSchools.net (includes student and parental comments)
http://SchoolMatters.com (from Standard and Poors)

good luck

Hi, I grew up in a town not far from Hackettstown, Long Valley. Excellent school system, Nice quiet community. My BIL has a son in Hackettstown school system. Not that great. Long Valley, Mount Olive, or Chester, really nice. (Taxes are up there, though!)
Good luck!

Alisha,
I live only 8 miles from Hackettstown! There are some great school systems in the area. Hackettstown, Clinton, Lebanon, there's a whole bunch. Do you need info on high schools or grade schools? When will you be moving? Shoot me an email at jeffreyvroom@yahoo.com and I'll gather the information you need.

I like Hanover or East Hanover it's a good area taxes and home prices are reasonable, plus job centers are very close. I also have a community tool to look up stats of areas and that will give you a good idea of whats going on out there, you can always contact me for more info if you have any questions
