[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a handful of families from DC/NY/NJ/MD who relocated to the Parkland school district in FL. The schools are very, very good. All the families relocated for work. All were worried about schools. Several were surprised to discover their kids were behind and needed tutors to catch up.

Judging all schools in FL is pointless. Would you equate all schools in DC or NYC? MD? VA? Of course not.

Good rule of thumb: affluence of the school district. Having said that, I know a wealthy philanthropist who spearheads fundraising efforts for the Naples school district. Not sure why there’s such a need for private philanthropy in such a wealthy area.[/quote]

Parkland is in the middle of nowhere, quite far from the coast. If schools there are very good compared to DC schools, imagine those in more established areas like Broward or Boca.

It's quite incredible to see the ignorance and the arrogance coming from folks like OP.[/quote]

Ha. I think you overestimate your intelligence.

Broward and Boca schools are not doing great. Don't judge the schools based on your traveling experiences.

Having grown up in FL, I would choose Parkland (or similar) if we ever moved back.

You don't live here based on your post. We do.

Broward and Boca schools are doing great. Sure, we can always find something to complain about, but they remain leagues ahead of DC (we used to live there) and Parkland (many friends there, often sending their kids NOT there)[/quote]
