How are the schools in Paola?

Curious what people think. I relocated for work and It's a a small town city with about 5,757 people. Homes are going for about $195,000 on average. Average temperature is around 55--F, so expect cold winters. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years....

Couple moving to Paola from out of state

Random thought, Average temperature is around 55--F, so expect cold winters. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
