Haycock is a rural area and there isn't any large housing development. There isn't a big turn over in resales in the area and very few new construction homes. Most of the township is state gamelands for Lake Nockamixon and county owned park, Lake Towhee. This has reflect the school enrollment in the area. There are many people that do not have children who live at home anymore. The 3 nearest elementary schools are not that far away. The 3 schools are Richland, Neidig, & Quakertown Elementary.

Farewell to the my old elementary school. I met some of my best friends there that I still have :) The memories of those days were pretty good and stress free.
