I'm not trying to be alarmist.  I just want to understand the area a little better.[/quote]

TRY parent here. I wouldn’t consider that neighborhood safe, but we’ve never had issues walking through it in the morning. We love the school, FWIW. [/quote]

This, and some of the other posts above. The crime statistics aren't terribly relevant when your kid will almost always be on school grounds, supervised, and during during school hours (save for a few evening functions maybe, which will also be on school grounds). And I say this as a parent of two kids whose school was in a neighborhood that most would consider sketchy, as in shootings within blocks on a semi-regular basis. There are lots of neighborhoods that you might not want to live in because it's scary at night or when you're by yourself but are perfectly fine during the hours when you'd be going to and from school with all the other students.

Good luck![/quote]
