[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people really check the school rating before they buy a house? Commute and safety are the main concerns. Student performance is correlated with parents' involvement. Smart and hardworking kids will do well regardless attending a school in Bethesda or Takoma Park. [/quote] Who doesn't? I checked even when I bought my condo at 22. You'd have an awful time selling and your property value might decrease if your schools are <4. And no, smart and hardworking kids might not succeed at a failing school. I went to a terrible, failing school. I saw smart kids pulled down by their peers, told to skip school and be teased for getting A's. That's why it's so hard to escape ghettos.[/quote]
