Spencer is a very good town. It deserves a better rating than a C+. It should be rated at a B. It’s a convenient town with good restaurants, mom and pop shops, and grocery stores. The schools are improving consistently and are rated about average for the state of MA. Most people I know who graduated from this school system are productive members of society. There are a lot of beautiful homes throughout the town. The center of town has improved both demographically and cosmetically. There are maybe 2-3 neighborhoods that are a little run down, but when you compare to nearby Worcester or Southbridge, they aren’t bad. Its not an insanely affluent town like Weston, but its a good town and people should give it chance.
I love living in Spencer because of all the nature, trails, parks and lakes that are here. It’s affordable and not on far from from worcester or Boston. Many conveniences readily available for such a small quaint town
The things that I like about Spencer, Ma is that it it has everything you need, trails for the outdoors type, good school system, and great small businesses.
