Near this route, residents venture over to Kiwanis Park, offering ball fields, walking trails, a playground, and open green space. Lakeside relaxation awaits at Lake Storey Park in the northwest corner of town, with the perfect lake for fishing and open green space for picnicking by the water.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
