First of all let me say that you are on the right track. When you are looking Charlottesville Schoolsto relocate to any area, schools should be a major part of the decision.
 
Some clients will say to me that schools do not matter because they either have no kids or their kids are grown.
 
My response is the same. Schools matter because they drive property values. As long as you are aware of this fact and then you decide that schools are not as important then that is fine.
 
Another important fact is that agents can not tell you the "best" schools or that one is better than another. This might be considered "steering" which is an ethical violation.
 
So here is what I tell people.
Take a look at my website under schools: Charlottesville Real Estate and Schools 
and notice that I have located all the schools in the Charlottesville Area and added links to an outside site that rates schools and gets information from parents and other sources. This outside site is not created by me or any agent.
 
Next when you have selected a school,
just click on the link Find a Home 
under the school name and you will be directed to homes for that area!
 
Simple enough?

I couldn't agree with you more. Schools are not just important when you have children. School contribute to the property and resale value and are always something to consider when buying.

Nice post.

School reports can be the best way to start the home search. Our area has so many great schools sometimes it can be difficult.

Charles - I have to say that I personally think that finding an acceptable school should indeed come before deciding on a neighborhood to live in - we are lucky that here in North Pinellas County all of our schools are A-rated.
