Theoretically, you're right but realistically, you are not.  I live in one of the W clusters and [b]I want more because I pay more [/b]- bottom line.  However, I have no problem with the fact that my money goes to help others in the school district.  [/quote]

I think it's important to remember that when you buy a house you are not signing a contract with a particular school to educate your child. Boundaries change, class sizes increase or decrease, principals change, populations change. People may say that they deserve better schools because they paid more money for their houses, but they paid a seller and a realtor, not a school. To people choosing homes, please live in a community that you like and don't be tempted to choose a living arrangement you don't like because it's inside the bounds of a "good" cluster. If boundaries change or that cluster becomes overpopulated and your child is sent to a different school, you will be stuck in a house you don't like for the sake of a school you are no longer in.

A school near me has been very well regarded and the property values have reflected that, and as lots of new families have moved in, it is now growing significantly over capacity with no solution in sight. These things can happen.[/quote]
