Will A Switch To Neighborhood Based School Assignment Impact Wake County and Raleigh, NC?
Raleigh and Wake County neighborhoods located near high performing schools will likely see rising home values, while neighborhoods in close proximity to underperforming schools may see declining values if the newly elected school board votes to proceed with a change to the way students are currently assigned. That is the gist of an article in today's News & Observer.com, "Schools Shift May Transform Raleigh"
So, will a shift in assignment policy impact Raleigh and Wake County development and home values in the future? One thing is certain, parents of school age children are, and have always been, willing to pay more for homes in good school districts. One reason Raleigh and Wake County have been popular relocation destinations for many families is because we have an exceptional school system. The new school board's number one priority is to ensure our schools continue to exceed standards, regardless of how they vote on student assignment policy. What's your opinion?
