[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are overrated. The home environment is what counts. The school does very little.  Poor Performing schools draw from areas with mostly bad environments. Good Schools don't. I'd get the house. You're at the whim of redistricting anyways. [/quote]

This is what people who pick the house always say and it vastly underestimates the amount that a school counts. You don't get a second crack at early education, especially with working parents who aren't going to be conducting a virtual late afternoon home school to make up for deficiencies in their school curriculum. Even if you have a SAH parent kids don't want to sit for another school session after being at an inferior school all day. My sister (who doesn't live around here) pulled her second child from private school to save $$, thinking that the school itself didn't matter that much and that their local public would be fine. Now that they've both graduated HS, she regrets it and says she can see a real difference in the education her second child received as a result.

Go for the good school district. The value of your property is far more likely to increase and you'll have either enough equity to make changes over time or to sell for a big profit and move when you no longer care about the schools. [/quote]
