re: Tell me about Zachary

Good schools that offer a lot of academic and extracurricular activities; however, the area has very little industry to support their tax base (GP is the only major employer), which means that property taxes are their main "bell cow" with regards to funding the school. Lately, the school system isn't getting the tax hikes they used to, and they are having budget issues they've never faced before - it makes me wonder how much longer the schools will keep those lofty rankings...

Also, for a small town, the traffic is horrendous; the restaurants are expensive; but it's a very safe and nice place to live.
