Current Resident: Some of the features of Scott County that I like is all the diversity in the county and all the events that are held from the schools and private companies that like to get the community involved. For an example, some of the events that are held here is Rib Fest (personal favorite), Tug Fest, and all the exciting things such as the plays that are held at the high schools. Also, there are a lot of farmer markets, flea markets, and craft shows that are going on from individuals from Scott County. Some of the details that I wish that would change is all the road construction. Here, there are some much construction that is going on. This can be seen as a good thing, however, some of the roads they do construction on are not the ones that they should be worried about. This can be a positive thing for the community because this creates more jobs for people and helps the busy roads stay drive-able, but some of the some roads need more attention from the county....

Parent: The curriculum is strong, with students working above grade level in many subjects. Teachers set high expectations and then help each child achieve those goals in a warm and nurturing environment. Each day students’ folders are filled with the work that they have completed so that parents can be informed of their child’s progress. Any obstacles are handled at early stages and the child is treated with the utmost respect every step of the way. The emphasis on STEAM is helping to prepare students for a successful future. Every member of the staff knows each kid--not only their names, but their individual personalities. Additional benefits of ACE include smaller class sizes, character development, a uniform that minimizes drama in the mornings, responsive staff, and an exceptional facility. I am confident that my children have a strong educational foundation and love of learning that will serve them well going forward.... Read 7 reviews

Current Resident: I moved into Dubuque Iowa when I was five years old from Sioux city Iowa. When I got here I was upset because I had to move away from my friends and the places I would typically go too. I was very young though, so I quickly found new friends and places I enjoyed going too. I am currently a senior at Dubuque high school and love it here. I love Dubuque because of the people,places and constant expanding they do. The people are interesting because there all sorts of people including city,country and anywhere in between. They are friendly for the most part but I will admit were not the best drivers. We live in the city where theirs good water, views, restaurants and anywhere you would ever need to go. My favorite place to visit is the Mines of Spain, its a big nature park with a lot of Dubuque history and amazing hiking trails. Overall Dubuque is a great city with lots of history and places to go too. I am extremely thankful my family moved here and happy to call myself a Dubuque kid.... Read 19 reviews

Current Resident: My experience of Linn County has been mostly positive. Linn County is located in eastern Iowa and is dominated by the city of Cedar Rapids. Linn County is a good, safe place to raise children, with a good public school system and numerous parks.

Current Resident: I have lived in Clinton County for the majority of my life. I have lived in central Iowa, and Kansas as well. I have to say that no matter where I go, I am often thinking of Clinton. So many people here spend their days trying to improve the community, and we can see that. Businesses and people are moving in, crime rates are going down. So although it is true that the City of Clinton was down, it is coming back up, and I cannot wait to be a part of it!...
