Children in Parma attend the Hilton Central School District, with a small group going to Spencerport Central Schools. Each of these two districts is well respected and known for producing students who achieve well academically, athletically and in the arts.

Within less than three miles are the townships of Greece, Hamlin, Spencerport and Brockport; and the City of Rochester is only twelve miles away, providing museums, nightclubs, professional theatre, touring shows, and more.

Parks
Parma Town Hall Park, on Rt. 259, with over 150 acres, offers year-round recreational opportunities. There are baseball diamonds, volleyball courts, lighted tennis, pickle ball and basketball courts, pavilions, soccer fields, a stocked fishing pond, bocce courts and more. There's even a skate park, a running course, and an 18-hole disc golf course.

Annual Events
The Hilton-Parma Recreation Department hosts a number of annual events for everyone in the community, from preschoolers through senior citizens. The village of Hilton, within the town of Parma, is famous for both its Apple Festival at harvest time, and a summer Fireman's Carnival

Traffic is generally quite reasonable in the region; and when special events make things a bit congested, the Parma Special Police, a volunteer organization, assist with managing the flow of vehicles.
