City in Kansas
Nearby 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, but we spend most of our recreational and shopping time in the city. We love the park facilities, neighborhoods, and trails. We aren’t in the Topeka schools, so can’t review those. We have found the people to be friendly and traffic is minimal compared to other places we’ve lived. The 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 390 reviews

Alum: Top notch faculty and administration, and a great appreciation for global international thinking and performance. The school emphasizes the importance of independent thinking and expression, while still maintaining a strong sense of community. Veritas allowed me to grow into the person I am today. It put me in challenging situations that have benefitted me overall and put me on the path to success. One of my most unique experiences: while at Veritas, I had an opportunity to study abroad at the campus in Beijing. What an experience! I highly recommend my alma mater. #alwaysaspartan...

Current Resident: We’ve lived in the area for almost 2 years. This community has been a great fit for us. The schools have provided some good opportunities for our kids. Our neighborhood is mostly safe, and people seem to watch out for each other and for questionable activities. The area is close enough to Topeka for easy access to shopping, parks, etc. It would be nice if there were more restaurants/fast food/shopping options on this side of the city.... Read 13 reviews

It's a small town just 10 minutes from the capital of Kansas, so you can go into town for all the restaurants, shopping, and night life or you can enjoy the simple nature of county living from the comfort of your own home.

Parent: Pinecrest is an absolutely amazing school! We are in our third year and are so happy to be part of such a wonderful school community. The love of learning and joy is seen everyday in the interactions the Head of School, staff, teachers, and enrichment teachers have with students and parents. We truly appreciate that each child is valued for his/her individuality and are supported academically, socially, and emotionally. DEIB is a core value of Pinecrest and all are welcome and celebrated. Class sizes are small and intimate. We appreciate the flexibility offered in learning with classes often held outside and focuses in the areas of STEAM, music, and project based learning. The teachers know every student, not just the ones in his/her classes. Individual class teachers are easy to communicate with and very responsive to parents and students. Communication from the Head of School is excellent, detailed, and consistent. Importantly, our child is thriving! We highly recommend Pinecrest!... Read 3 reviews
