School Districts and Their Role in Real Estate

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with RE/MAX Prestige 01723613

Many potential buyers, especially those with children, are very conscious of the school districts in the cities which they are considering to move. School districts and even specific schools can greatly affect the desirability of neighborhoods and communities, for certain buyers.

Three websites with helpful information about schools in California are:
1.    http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sp/- This is the California Department of Education website which posts the API (Academic Performance Index) of every public school in California.
2.    www.greatschools.org- This site has information regarding public and private schools' API ratings, testing results, and reviews.
3.    www.ratemyteachers.com - This is a website that allows users to rate teachers at specific schools. So if you are interested to learn more about what students and parents think of teachers, you can read all about them on this site.

Schools mean the make or break decision on where to buy a home.  School district means everything.
