[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t have school aged kids it’s fine. If your kids are on the older side, you’re fine. I’d avoid Bucknell elementary. We live in old town and go to a great swim club in Bucknell, and a lot of members love walking distance and like it. [/quote]

We don't have children yet...but the schools are a concern.[/quote]

We lived in the general area before kids, then moved after having kids.  Your dollar will go much farther there because the schools aren't considered very good.  Whether they are or aren't is another question.  It's been many years, but as I recall, something like 80-90% of the kids for our zoned elementary were english as a second language.  It makes sense that the teachers in those early years of K-2 would need to spend a lot of time getting that population up to speed, which didn't seem like a great situation for our kids.  The other thing that's commonly mentioned is that the language barriers and possibly cultural barriers make for a more uninvolved parent population at these schools.[/quote]

I almost did a double take and thought I wrote this! We were facing elementary at Rose Hill, after having been rezoned almost immediately after purchase. Which was still years before we had kids. We bailed. At the time, it was something like 90% ESL and I toured and asked questions and just couldn’t understand how they would deal with my non-ESL child. Over a decade later and while I is our space and yard, and garage, I made the right decision.[/quote]
