The quality of the schools near your new dream home may be more important to you than the distance to local shopping and the nearest dog beach. Many new buyers report that the local schools play a big role in their home purchasing decisions. Even if school information is not on your radar the demographic information from the district can tell you quite a bit about the community.
Asking us for more information is always a good place to start. We have tons of information about the schools at our fingertips and as members of the community we know all the ins and outs.
The National Center for Education Statistics also has extensive data for each school district on its website. From here you can find the names of the schools in your area, demographic information and links.
Lastly, reach out to the schools for tours and open house dates. There is nothing like actually seeing the school in action to get a feel for how it will work for your child.
