[quote=Anonymous]We have always bought with schools in mind first-- and have never regretted it. With 3 ESs (one base, 2 AAP), 2 MS (one base, one AAP), 2 HSs (one kid at base, one at TJ) we have never been below a GS 8. And our kids have gotten amazing educations (and for the 2 base schools we did not attend, neighborhood parents were very happy and housing appreciated). Better with AAP than any private we could reasonably commute to, as well. That said, we did a lot more legwork and research when we moved (once with small kids, once with one in ES and one heading into MS) than just looking at the GS score. But in general? High GS scores IME are spot on. Maybe low GS scores are not. No first hand experience. But I do wonder if folks saying that a GS 2 school is fantastic aren't trying to justify a bad decision to themselves, rather than being 100% honest about the downside. [/quote]
