Message: [QUOTE="PogoSticks, post: 3248971, member: 9202"] Southington’s school system is a good district overall. Like other posters have said the elementary schools are all similar but some are in dire need of renovation, Kelley and Flanders. Derynoski school is also in need of an update and is also by far the largest elementary school in town, it was the old high school. I have lived halfway between Lake Compounce and the Ski Area my entire life and there is no noise that you hear from those locations. Sports in this town are very animated and the parents will sometimes become too invested but on the whole the kids who play really enjoy their experience. The town’s restaurants have been slowly drifting away from the chains but still has a long way to go. The only areas of town I would avoid buying a house would be in any area near Darling St, slowly starting to improve but has a long way to go, and some areas over by Rec park, the sewage treatment plant is there and from some surrounding neighborhoods in the summertime you get an unwanted whiff. On the whole southington is a great town and truly is close to many things in CT. Good luck with your house hunting and if you would like any more information bout the school system I would be more than willingly to help. [/QUOTE]
