And that is just simple grade dilution, then factor in that housing were artificially inflated by the school and now amenities can be had elsewhere so you get attrition from cost conscious buyers and those that really want the best of the best.  Most parents that really value education aren't going to look at spending an hour in traffic everyday as a good value when they could be studying.  Not to mention just the disruptive effects of moving.

Test scores are going down.[/quote]
