[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Buying a home in a lower performing school district seems insane for this reason. [/b][/quote] That's what we did and I don't think it's insane at all. Lower mortgage means our family's overall quality of life is drastically better using it as extra vacation funds. We provided support at home that DD needed so she was still above grade level relative to her peers early on. She got into AAP easily so she's in the classes with other high performers anyway.[/quote] Right- your reason for buying in a lower performing school was to go on more vacations. That poster was asking about going to a lower performing school to try to game the system for a better chance to get into AAP. While I personally wouldn’t gamble w/ my kids’ educational opportunities by betting on AAP acceptance at a lower performing school, clearly it was worth it to you for vacations and ultimately worked out.
