So I don’t have children but know a bunch of people do. Ozark and Nixa both supposedly have really good schools from what I’ve been told. I know a family member that did home school and he had some relationship with public schools so he could participate in sports etc so that could be an option.

I did move from out of state, but it’s been almost 10 years now (late 2013). I live in Ozark now. The people I’ve met have all been really nice. I think mileage there is going to vary. I will say I’ve never met so many people with farm animals as I have here. I don’t really get the county roads people waving at me ever but I’ve also not really had to many “bad experiences”. I’ve never had a package stolen or theft, which I know some people have.

We have a crap ton of restaurants here. So I’d say depends on cuisine but I will list a few of my favorites.

Greek Belly - Greek

Lindburgs or Galloway Grill - burgers

Post Game, Pappos, or the Mill - pizza

The Big Easy - creole/Louisiana style

Caesars - Tex-max/Mexican

Niji, Haruno - sushi

Expensive - The Garrison

Edited just to say welcome to the Ozarks!
