Good community engagement. Public transit could be better. Scenic location near the beach. Good bars and restaurants.
This town has transportation for students (all around the bay). High school students are given a metro card by the schools—helping students become more independent. Grades eight and below ride school buses. We have parks, and trails along the ocean which is nice for students who do co-curricular activities (such as cross-country). There are also in person interpreters integrated in almost every service (medical, academic, etc) which makes it easier for immigrant parents to communicate with teachers.
Good access to education
This is an age friendly community, there is a lot to do in Portland and a lot of opportunities.
