[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Obviously all the people who did this will say "Of course!" in order to justify their investment. And those who didn't will say, "Nah!" to validate their own choice. You are not going to get unbiased responses.[/b]
We went middle of the road. Well regarded public schools, neighborhood we loved and great commute. Were there "better" public schools we could have moved to? Yes, but we would have sacrificed on the other two things.  We do not in any way feel that we did our children a disservice. People in our area are very happy with the schools, but its not a pyramid that is often mentioned on DCUM.[/quote]

I think this about sums it up.  Also, on the one hand, it's pretty hard for me to believe a good or not-as-good school district really makes or breaks a kid's success in life.  There are just too many other factors in play and it's hard to untangle them.  On the other hand, there's no doubt that many people prefer the "insurance" factor a higher-achieving school environment provides and are willing to pay out the nose for it, so financially, the premium for the house in a top school pyramid likely will be worth it if you plan to live there for some time.[/quote]
