[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]First figure out commutes and possible commutes should your job location change. An additional 15 minutes makes a bigger difference than many perceived differences between ES.

Figure out your budget.

Overlay best commutes with affordable houses and then look at the possible elementary schools in your target areas. Then, come back here with your narrowed down areas and people will help you.

This is quite possibly the worst advice I have read on this forum. Commute time, unless unreasonable, isn’t a factor for most people and pales in comparison to school quality.

That person would have you live super close to the worst school districts in the county.[/quote]

Disagree.  The person who wrote this must not have a very long commute or realize how long some commutes are?  Do you really want to be at least an hour away from your child in an emergency?

My commute is an hour on average each way, but I get to telework.

I have no objection to considering commute, but imo the tail wags the dog when you choose a school based solely on commute. Frankly, different people feel differently about how close you need to be to a school, but to choose with that as sole criteria is lunacy.[/quote]
