Neshaminy SD - Feasterville-Trevose Area (Horsham, Lansdowne: credit, townhouse, purchasing)

[bludgeon29]

First post here but a long time lurker on these forums - have loved the comments from all of you here.

Have lived in the Philly suburbs (Lansdowne, KOP, Horsham, Bensalem) for last 6 years. Finally decided on purchasing my first place - i really like the new Walnut Groove development in Feasterville-Trevose (on Philmont ave, just next to the walnut ridge townhouse community). Infact I have put in my deposit to hold one of the last end-units in the development.

I have a 3-yr old and I am still on the fence regarding the school district. This comes under the Neshaminy school district - it seems a decent enough on paper but wanted to get some opinions - especially if someone here has kids attending one the below 2 elementary schools which are closest to this community:

- Joseph E Ferderbar Elementary School
- Lower Southampton Elementary School

Would appreciate ANY feedback on these schools - the overall culture, quality of teachers, extra-curricular programs, attitude towards minorities (I am asian) etc. Thanks to all in advance.

Neshaminy is actually a very good school distrcit.. They dont get as much credit around here as they should honestly. They had a blue ribbon middle school, and are always pretty highly ranked. They also have a lot of extra programs/activities for the kids.

Any other opinions on Neshaminy SD?

Council Rock and Central Bucks have better reputation, but these two also have very bad reputation for drugs.

Any opinions?

My niece went through Neshaminy schools from 1st grade then got into E Stroudsburg and is now getting her doctorate at Widener.
