Avoid Sweetwater like the plague (lived there 1

I would never live there again under any circumstances. Smart aleck punks in the public schools (bullying etc). No jobs, low wages, real redneck mentality, (look down their nose at anyone who isn't a redneck) socially backward. Elementary and Jr. High well rated , but the High School is a disaster on quality of "Education". The corniest place I ever lived and I have lived in big cities, small, tiny farming communities,mid sized suburbs, you name it. Would have left sooner, but my father was in the oil business there .(The oil and cattle business have since fallen dramatically in the town) Unless you believe that Friday Night football is the biggest thing in life (it is practically a religion there,the High School treats football players as being on a huge pedistal, avoid Sweetwater.Kids that left there were not well socially adjusted and had problems when going off to College) The "big deal" was hanging around the courthouse square on weekend days. Social life of zero. If you weren't born there, forget it. Abilene 40 miles away is a far better choice. Positives: There are a few. Low humidity,on a major interstate highway.
