[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did this, OP. Our kids were in elementary school and we moved to a much better school pyramid within the same district. We doubled our mortgage and have a much higher interest rate because of bad timing, and do not regret it one bit.

The differences in the schools is like night and day. There are fewer disruptive kids, the difference between the lowest performing and the highest performing children is smaller than at the old school, and there is less teacher turnover at this school, and therefore more experienced teachers. Most importantly - both of our children are excelling and the one that had previously been doing really poorly in school has improved significantly.

I can't say if it will be the right decision for you, but it was absolutely the right decision for us.[/quote]

Same here. We moved literally 10 minutes away but to a much better school system. Our kids hang out with other kids from normal homes and working parents. My friend works as a teacher in one of the schools where we used to live and says that classrooms are a disaster ( like kids who cannot hold pen and are already in the 3rd grade, lots of non-English speaking kids whose parents don't have opportunity to take care of them).[/quote]
