Suburb of Lubbock, TX
Current Resident: Wolfforth is a nice area. I have lived here for about 3 years and it's a safe town. Plenty of police surveying the area makes me feel secured. Also, my next-door neighbor is a cop. I go to Frenship High School, and I love it there. My brother goes to Bennett Elementary School, and he enjoys his education experience as well. An ideal environment to raise children or settle down. Plenty of food businesses to choose from, I work at Pizza Hut and It's my favorite job so far. Delightful town overall!... Read 11 reviews

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 have had a plenty of time to experience Floydada, as it is where I have been raised. It is a very good community who is close and friendly. As a result of being a small town it is easy to connect with neighbors and other within the community. The cost of living is also very affordable and job opportunities are easy to find. Being a rural community in West Texas, farmers are always in search of hiring farm hand to help raise and harvest crops. Living in Floydada made me feel same as the crime rate is low. The only thing i would change is the business industry. We lack a variety of options to shop and eat.... Read 10 reviews

Current Resident: I like Levelland because of the tight community it holds. Over the years it has changed dramatically in wanting to provide more for its citizens. Things like after school activities, more live music, etc have opened up. A thing I would love to see change is the divide in social classes. More opportunities for lower income families. I would love to see new businesses open up that could give more job opportunities within the community.... Read 37 reviews

Parent: Commonwealth Academy is above and beyond what anyone could possibly imagine for their child. We needed to find a small, specialized school so that our daughter could thrive and succeed. It was a thrill to find such an inclusive atmosphere filled with dedicated administrators and teachers. My daughter has an anxiety disorder and OCD. Every single teacher CARES. The combination of education, creativity and fun that they have created is unmatched. The classrooms are small and kids with every learning difference are treated with respect and patience. Without the chaos and fear of a big school, our daughter got past the nerves that held her back and learned to speak to adults and advocate for herself. She had warm and nurturing advisors who saw her potential and appreciated her strengths - they gave her CONFIDENCE. The education and unparalleled college prep she received from C/A is why she's thriving in college today, and why our younger daughter is now a C/A student.... Read 11 reviews

Parent: I have one alum and two middle schools sons at Lowell. The younger two started in Kindergarten and the oldest in third after attending our local public elementary school. Although my sons are completely different, Lowell has managed to understand and bring out the best in each of them. My oldest, the quiet introvert at public school, was completely brought out of his shell and is now a confident 10th grader. Lowell taught him self advocacy. My younger two have been encouraged to use their over abundance of self-confidence to boost other children up. Thanks to Lowell, they are empathetic leaders. Lowell has helped me parent my boys to be their best selves -- confident yet kind, thoughtful and public-spirited. All of that PLUS a leading edge curriculum that allows them to easily attend the top public and independent high schools in the city!... Read 13 reviews
