GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
I do not like this school because of certain teachers that don't teach well and make me not understand the subject. This school does not make me enjoy going to get my education. I think that they should also work harder to make this a more diverse and inclusive place. This school is not diverse in the slightest and does not feel inclusive to LGBTQ+ students or students of other races. This school also does not do anything about the misgendering of trans students at this school. It does not feel like a safe space for everyone.

"My husband and I purchased our house from the original owner after his passing (from his children's estate), made some improvements and even on the day of our moving in, neighbors brought over goodies and introduced themselves - we watch out foe one another, and as we are older, neighbors have just volunteered to shovel snow, mow the lawn out of the kindness of their hearts. I haven't lived ANYWHERE since I was a child that's so kind and quiet and friendly. The Town and Country Subdivision's a great place to live whether you are one of the four mentioned in this page. I'd strongly recommend this community to anyone, in fact, it's a growing community with newer homes going up to the end or West of the addition. And, its one of the few areas of the world where everyone's property Is pretty and well kept. It's a wonderful and safe place to walk, jog, walk your dog. "
