How are the schools in La Porte?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I work in hospitality and It's a a smaller city city with about 36,077 people. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Has anyone dealt with this?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a nurse who relocated here from San Diego about 9 years ago. The main reasons were family and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Strong job market in several industries
- Lots of family-friendly activities

Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Urban sprawl is real

Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are manageable, gas is decent.

Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
