County in Kansas
Current Resident: My experience growing up in the Johnson County area has left a pretty positive impact on what I could accomplish and become inspired by. Whether it was community service, compromising, and many other ways people in the community can be helped out. It's overall a mostly liberal place, yet some people are still pretty conservative. The public schools here are also really great at getting everyone involved in wanting what's best for each person living here. A lot of the school teachers here are amazing at there and it's easy to tell they loving being teachers and deserve higher paychecks. Everyone is mostly pretty polite to each other without creating tension or getting into arguments or fights. It's also extremely safe here considering in this part of Kansas, public safety is taken very seriously. There is also a huge diversity of ethnic backgrounds from all over the world and considering it's one the most affordable parts of the country to live in makes it a bonus for real estate....

Current Resident: We have lived in Shawnee County for about 6 months now. We are just outside the Topeka City limits in the Shawnee Heights area. We love park facilities, neighborhoods, and trails. The schools have been good so far (only half a year, and with COVID protocols), with a good variety of opportunities. We have found the people to be friendly and traffic is minimal. More business/commerce on the east side of the county/Topeka would be great and I think would be supported. There’s a larger homeless/street begging population than I would have expected. I know Topeka statistically has a higher crime rate, but we have not seen/experienced that in any way. The downtown Topeka area has been nicely redeveloped and we have enjoyed the activities and restaurants downtown.... Read 6 reviews

Current Resident: I love it!! It’s a great place with an awesome education program. Lots of dedicated teachers, counselors, and coaches at Salina Central. Many opportunities to grow as athletes, students, and just human beings. It’s a great place to grow up, with the population being around 50,000. Lots of great businesses are being added to the downtown, and more “popular” parts of town. It’s a great place to be in 2019. I will forever cherish the memories made, the friends made, and the home in my soul that was created due to this town. It is definitely a building block (or a stepping stone) for the future in my personal life. Salina also has many great churches and good variety for all.... Read 8 reviews

Parent: The Admissions department made the application process seamless. They were easy to reach; gladly returned phone calls and inquiries; and, assisted with the application process during each step. Compared to other independent college prep institutions, RMA is a small school. However, we were thoroughly impressed with the diversity that we saw during the summer camp program; We were pleased to see that it carried over to the academic year. The curriculum is rigorous. The staff is caring. There are a variety of extracurricular activities that are day and boarding inclusive. Any family "on the fence" about RMA should definitely consider a second look, or reach out to staff. You'll be glad you did!... Read 173 reviews

Parent: My kids have been attending Basis since before the pandemic, and we are so impressed! Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings.... Read 53 reviews
