'nice', but dull....

newtown is nice, but dull. i am disappointed moving here from very annoying westchester, ny. i came here thinking this would be a good, solid new england town, a nice place for families, and many of the people are just that. but the newer residents that came around the time i did, are trying to make it into a new westport, which quite honestly, will not come until they get the schools in shape. the high school is like a prison, and the academics are just ok. some have moved due to the lack in interest of making the schools better. the residents either agree with you or get very defensive if you have complaints about the schools. winters are terrible; summers are pretty but you are isolated, in the woods, no place to swim unless you want to swim in the lake with huge bacteria counts. so kids drive around and knock down mailboxes with baseball bats, and vandalize the graveyard at the local church. there is an empty feeling here that is impossible to fill.
