The school system is decent, but town diversity is lacking. There aren't many job opportunities in town, but plenty in the surrounding area. However, no public transportation, which makes it tough for those without cars to work.
It's a pretty small and tight knit community where everyone seems to know everyone. You know all your classmates; during your high school years, it's like one big family.
