LOL.  Speaking of cray-cray...  [/quote]

How is that crazy? Every metric and grouping has them on the 3rd tier whether it's greatschools or the usnews rankings.

No one actually things greatschools or usnews rankins are worthwhile or takes them seriously. It's not like people consult them when making home-buying decisions. You'd have to be monumentally stupid to do that.[/quote]

The majority of people do look at those ratings and overall the better the rating the more expensive the house. It's a starting point.[/quote]

We've already established that in an urban area the school does not control the price of the house---the location does.  This is why homes in Georgetown, Dupont, close to Metro and having walkability (Clarendon) have a higher price point per square footage and lot size than homes farther away from these things.  In a completely suburban area--with no other factors--then- yes- the school controls--but not when a neighborhood has many more amenities that trump just the school.[/quote]
