What a “good” school district gets you is the ability to advocate your student be changed to the class of the other, non screaming, teacher. You will have to work for it and they will fight you tooth and nail about it (prepare to file police or ADA reports level of fighting). But in a truly bad district there**isn’t** a good-to-great option to ask to switch your student to.

Other than that its all about your real estate values.

So far we have been 1 in 4 for good to great teachers. 2 were duds (one was crazy and the other was extremely lazy and dismissive). Is this good enough?

Not so important since you still get to tell people you are in a top public school district
