Garner is a great choice. It is one of the very few small towns that have been growing in North Central Iowa. Pretty much any school district in Iowa is outstanding, and Garner is no exception to that. I think what sets Garner apart from many of its neighboring communities is the relatively strong local economy and the towns commitment to building quality of life enhancing facilities - For instance, the town has a new aquatic center and a brand new community center that is fantastic (it offers work out equipment and gymnasium space for the town’s residents). It has a quaint little main street with many shops and also has your typical small town grocery store and a variety store.
If you have school aged children, it is definitely worth your time to look into the communities in Worth County (Northwood, Manly). Every student who graduates high school there gets a scholarship to apply towards their college education. It’s not a huge scholarship, maybe $3000 or so, but certainly better than nothing.
