Town in Minnesota
Current Resident: I love Duluth! I've lived here just over 10 years and I love it. I grew up in Barstow, CA which is the high desert. So it was a culture shock and an extreme temperature switch from the hot dry desert with almost no snow in the winter to the long cold winters of Duluth MN. Took some getting used to but it's very doable. The hills that are the backdrop to Lake Superior give the town a beauty that you'll fall in love with. With the flat drab view of Superior WI right across the way there's plenty to appreciate in Duluth. We have many outdoor trails that wind through the city giving the town a feel that it's a mix of city life with the woods intertwined all throughout. There's plenty to do if you love the outdoors. Shops, restaurants, bars and plenty of tourist sites to see. With lots of sites not far away from Duluth you can discover many interesting things you'll love about Duluth and the surrounding area....

Current Resident: I moved to Mountain Iron when I was in fifth grade and my experience was great! I had the chance to experience 6 state tournaments and we got 2nd place twice and a 3rd place. I was able to attend a Post Secondary institute because it was very close and I am now graduating Mountain Iron Buhl High School with my AA Degree. There are also a lot of parades and fairs that happen in Mountain Iron in the summer. I love how it is a small town and everybody knows everybody. I give my town five stars!... Read 4 reviews

Buffalo, MN•
School District
Alum: The Buffalo schools are outstanding. The facilities for academics, athletics and the arts are better than those found at some colleges, and the staff members know how to both challenge and support students in ways that inspire growth. No matter their life goals, students can find outstanding programs to equip them. There are numerous advanced courses for college preparation, excellent shop facilities and options for those looking at more of a career or technical field, and a music/theater/arts program that is unsurpassed in the region. The athletic teams play in the state's premier conference, and the school's other activities like mock trial or yearbook have long traditions of success. The district's size is just right to allow students the opportunity to explore a wide variety of opportunities, or specialize to compete with the best in Minnesota. In short, this district is amazing.... Read 52 reviews

Nearby Resident: I live about 15 minutes outside of Eveleth and Virginia and it is a beautiful area! There is a Mesabi Trail which is paved and it goes through a couple towns and is a great place for biking! There is the Laurentian Divide park which has hiking trials, fitness loop, and great views just out of town. There are lakes near by and this is a great area if you love the outdoors!

Nearby Resident: I like how Proctor is a small town. It is very easy to get to know the people around you and create a strong relationship with just about anybody. The school district is great, too!

Current Resident: This is a delightful waterfront-residential community. Fredenberg may very well have the most waterfront property of any Minnesota township. You will enjoy the rural life with many great lakes and rivers including two very large lakes; Island Lake and Fish Lake. Outdoor activities abound year round; boating, camping, fishing, hunting, hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, and many other activities. I have found the people are friendly and helpful. IMHO Fredenberg has the best fire and emergency medical system in the area with an extraordinary number of highly trained medical personnel. A huge benefit of Fredenberg is that it is located just 20 minutes from Duluth but still offers superb waterfront - rural living. Fredenberg schools are provided by the Hermantown district which IMHO exceeds the quality of other area school systems including Duluth. Many Fredenberg residents are retired which is great because they have the time to be able to fully enjoy all Fredenberg has to offer!... Read 2 reviews

Parent: My son has been at Good Shepherd for three years and we've been very happy. He has had made great friends in the small classes, and gets plenty of attention from the dedicated teaching staff. He also loves the "perks" like the outdoors program, where they walk over to nearby Forest Hill park and down by the James River to learn about nature and Richmond. We also like that, even though it's small, there kids from all kinds of different backgrounds, which was different from what we found in a lot of the other schools we looked at.... Read 14 reviews

The school cares about its students and the work that goes into it as well as the student voice, the student's voice is defiantly something that I can proudly say has been listened to more and taken into perspective.
