112 Firethorn Dr, Treynor, IA 51575

My children have graduated from Treynor, and now my grandson is in elementary school. Treynor is a bedroom town with jobs in nearby Omaha or Council Bluffs. Housing is not cheap, and it requires a good salary to live in Treynor District. There are very few low income families, so this is not a diverse community. Most parents have college degrees and expect the same from their children. That expectation of achievement makes this school performance much higher. It is not for lazy kids or lazy parents. Kids do get in trouble, but they go to the cities to do it, and not in Treynor. There is a turnover in families as people move in for the school system, and then may move out after graduation. Parental careers also move people in and out more frequently. Because of this, Treynor may lack the "hometown atmosphere" and friendliness of a similar small town in which neighbors need each other. Much of the growing population lives on acreages, not in the town itself.
