Although Forty Fort itself is a small town, there are plenty of entertainment, dining, and shopping options around. Major metro areas like Scranton are only 20 miles outside of town, and residents can even get to New York City or Philadelphia for a fun weekend getaway. Residents have easy access to Interstate 81 and the Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley Airport. Public schools, restaurants, sports complexes, athletic fields, and small businesses make up the majority of Forty Fort. The rentals that are available in town are very affordable, making this an ideal suburb for renters.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
