Current Resident: Turner is pretty small and there isn't a lot to do for someone who is on the younger side. I find myself going to Salem a lot because there's nothing to here. However, if you aren't into the city life then Turner is the place for you it has a lot of fields and a lake that lots of people go to during the summer.... Read 7 reviews

Town in Oregon
Current Resident: I have been raised in the town of McMinnville and have seen insane growth since moving here in 1995. I am nearly 30 years old and have seen businesses come and go with the ever changing economy. Not only local economy, but the nation as a whole. McMinnville wraps it's identity with the same resilience and perseverance as any of our wineries. Year-in and year-out wineries huddle down the shops of this historic hub we call 3rd street, proving that our agricultural roots are deep and worthy of any global producer. Our local cuisine is unique and is proud of serving locally sourced goods with every new season. Whether it be the rain or the blazing summer, this town nestled in the valley is something unique and can make you at ease. Out of the hustle of a big city but not far enough to feel lost. The frame of verdant hills that surround this city truly make you feel as if something special is holding you here. Just so you can see every new sunset coming down behind the western hillsides....

Current Resident: I have lived n the Salem area my whole life, and it has always been a great experience. I went to Candalaria Elementary School, Leslie Middle School(6th), Howard Street Charter School(7th-8th), and South Salem High School. All in which I've had good educational experiences with! My only concern with Salem is the growth in the homeless population, which can sometimes make you feel unsafe when strolling through downtown.... Read 509 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 167 reviews

Current Resident: Keizer has been my home for my whole life. The people are friendly, neighborhoods are very safe, and Keizer Station offers many places to shop. I love Keizer, but it would be nice to have a local movie theater, or a larger amount of communal activities. I believe that students at McNary, the local high school, feel well-accommodated and included. My neighbors are all very friendly, and there is almost never an crime or disruption where I live. Keizer has been very kind to me and I recommend it to anyone looking for a new home! We recently got an In-n-out Burger, and our town is getting bigger and more exciting every year....

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
