Mineola?

Does anyone live in Mineola or have any input on the area (specifically near Willis Ave and Lincoln Ave)? I heard that the elementary schools are good but most people move by the time their kids get to 7th grade because the middle and HS aren't so hot... does anyone have any feedback on what it's like to live there? is it a nice community? safe? good schools?

If you do live there in a co-op, could you FM me please?

thanks!!

Re: Mineola?

I grew up in Mineola. Went to Middle School and High School there. I think the schools get a bad name...not sure why though. They have a lot of great programs in the HS. I think I got a great education!
