Is Butler good enough to buy a house? (Kinnelon: elementary schools, live in)

[homehunter1]

I am planning to buy a house in Butler. Can some one please provide some advice about the town?

How good is the school system? My work is around 20 miles from Butler.

The commute is not bad.

I am more curious to learn about the area, people, community, schools etc.

Thanks

We live in Butler right now. The schools are ok, elementary schools are good, but I don't think the middle and high are too great. I am actually sending my daughter to a private kindergarten next year because the kindergarten here is only 2 hours and I feel she could benefit so much more from a full day.

The area is great! So convenient to every store. We go to the library in Kinnelon, which is much nicer than the Butler one.

Not too sure about the community since I am not involved. They have been redoing Main street and have built a new strip mall there.

Any other questions, I would be happy to answer.
