[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Houses are sitting in Raleigh. Market is not great and neither are the schools [/quote] Zoned high schools (meaning, not magnet, lottery or charter) within the limits of a city are never going to be “great” meaning low-poverty & high average SAT scores. This pretty much holds true no matter what city you’re in. Definitely holds true for Pittsburgh, DC, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and NYC. Urban & rural schools (again, non-magnet) generally perform the worst. College towns are the exception to the rule. Raleigh may be different because they re-zone schools frequently. It’s hard to compare GreatSchools scores across state lines, but some states are better for education than others. The worst school in Massachusetts is probably going to be better than the best school in Mississippi.[/quote]
