Description
If you are looking for an older home thats full of charm, but need extra bedrooms and want country living, yet close to town, you have found your dream come true! This home has a nice family room that opens up to a remodeled kitchen and mudroom/laundry area. There was an addition done in 2012 that added a primary bed/bath with walk-in closet, along with 2 more large bedrooms. The original part of the home has 3 more bedrooms and a full bathroom. Out back you will find a detached garage that is heated/cooled and another small storage shed that conveys. Do not forget the great backyard with a wooden treehouse just waiting for those summer evenings. Close to the Rail to Trail in Forest City for weekend bike rides.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAverage school, nothing special. I can’t speak for all of the teachers but mine are engaging and try to keep the students grades up. On Friday instead of having WIN class we get 30 minutes off of free time either on the soccer field, P.E. room or some field in the front, there isn’t a free time/break time between classes though. They have recently started a tutoring program to help students who are behind so that’s cool I guess. In P.E. we used to have some sort of warm up at the beginning of class which was like 10 pushups, 10 sit-ups and some stretching a few years ago but they don’t anymore, most of what we do know is either 2 or 4 laps around what is close enough to 400 meters then just free time for the remaining time. Art class is pretty cool, we get projects usually, we were making sugar skulls for DOTD but I couldn’t finish mine because I had cheerleader practice. Oh and from the time I’ve been here there’s been like no family involvement other than parents signing paperwork, and I was out of school for a week and my parents were never called saying I missed the bus or was absent any of the days.Student Review2y ago - Chase High School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageChase High School is by far the best school in the county. I am only a freshman and I have enjoyed my time here at Chase. The school might be small but we have a lot of character. Chase has so many great faculty and staff members and they always greet you with a smile. There is no other school like Chase High School!!Student Review14y ago - Rutherford Early College High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a fantastic school where ANY student fits in. They get a 2-year college degree while getting their high school diploma. They are allowed to attend any and all activities at their district school (athletics, band, dances, prom) while getting the advantages of small class size and dedicated teachers. It is truly a family atmosphere, and the teachers do an amazing job helping the kids be successful in their school work, both college and high school. Total lottery system which makes it fair. I would recommend it to everyone.Parent Review13y ago
