However, SCA had the property appraised and gave the option for NLCS to have their own appraisal of the property, which NLCS declined. The property was appraised at $20,000.
Springville Academy students have the option of either attending Bedford North Lawrence High School or Eastern High School due to the close proximity of both schools.
