Multiple architecture styles in a competitive market

Hit the links at multiple area golf courses
Locals looking to hit the green can book weekend tee times at Whitetail Golf Club stationed on Klein Road, which offers private golf lessons as well as an indoor golf simulator. The nearby Southmoore Golf Course is another option for area golfers. After school, kids flock to the Moore Township Recreation Center. Containing several sports fields, a public track and a playground, the recreation center is a hot spot for residents of all ages to get the blood flowing. The park also serves as a central hub for community events. "Every year in August, we put on a huge Community Days celebration for all of the people with bands and fireworks and food vendors from all of the local churches that come for the non-profit. Everybody pitches in to make this a success because they want to continue to have this in their town," Miklas says. "You find people who move in from out of the area, and they absolutely love that we have things like this for the community."

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.
