As a real estate professional I get a lot of questions about the school systems. If you have recently worked with a Realtor and asked them about the local schools and they didn’t seem to really answer your question (s), there is a reason for that.

A licensed agent should not give their opinion on local school systems due to fair housing laws. However there are some great resources out there to help educate you and answer your questions.

All information below was gathered from outside resources and is not a reflection of my opinion of any one area or school.
