[quote=Anonymous]I think you should move where you can afford and where you like the elementary school now. People move all the time, and children's groups of friends are reshuffled when middle school and high schools start anyway. Lots of kids in our neighborhood have gone off to magnets or privates too, and still keep up with their old friends. I think it's more about parents' comfort: it reduces anxiety a little to feel like you are in a "good" district all the way through, but it may not be a good financial move and it certainly may not be fun to live in a much smaller space just for the sake of a future school that may or may not be good enough. Another issue is overcrowding. If you check out the elementary schools in these "good" clusters, they are often much more crowded, and in addition if they are in wealthier areas they have a lot larger class sizes than nearby elementaries with some low-income kids.[/quote]
