Family and community life here largely centers around the North Polk Community School District. Alleman hosts the district's main campus, meaning local kids have the elementary, middle, and high schools right in town, which cuts down on long morning commutes and brings neighbors together for Friday night sports and school events. While residents head into Ankeny or Ames for big-box shopping and entertainment, Alleman remains a close-knit, welcoming community with plenty of room to grow.
