"America's Top 25 Places to Live to Go to School"
9/10/2007
Thousands of cities were nominated, but only 25 made the grade as "America's Top Place to Live to Go to School" and Johns Creek is one of them, according to the national consumer directory Relocate-America.
Johns Creek was selected along with San Jose, Calif., Asheville, N.C., Colorado Springs, Colo. and 21 other cities for the 2007 list because of its strong schools, specialized educational programs, high parental involvement and community school support.
"We're excited to recognize 25 great communities from across the nation that offer families a great place to live considering the quality of schools and having choices in educational offerings for children," said Steve Nickerson president and CEO of Michigan-based Relocate-America.
Cities were first nominated by their own residents, parents, students and teachers based on the community's benefits and educational offerings. Nominations were then compared with statistical data compiled by realtors and consumers in the directory of 6,000 U.S. communities.
