Elk Rapids is home to a diverse population including both families with young children and senior citizens, folks intent on enjoying the conveniences of the community.  They are both people from "down state" who have traded the rat race for a better quality of life and long-time residents whose roots go back several generations.  One of the strengths that draws people to Elk Rapids is an outstanding school system, considered among the best in Northern Michigan.  The system offers small class sizes, advanced courses, and top-rated teachers and facilities.
