Over the past few days I have been discussing the top schools in Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Harford County, but how important is the school system when searching for your next home? Baltimore County has Carver, Harford County has Fallston and Baltimore City has Poly as their top schools, but would you choose to live in a certain area just so your child could attend one of those schools? Would you pass on a home that you absolutely love because it is zoned for a not so good school? I would love to hear some of your thoughts on this topic.
I think we would all say that education is extremely important in the development of our children. Many schools have great teachers and great academic programs, but is that enough to lure you to a neighborhood? I have lived and worked in Baltimore County my entire life and know that it has an excellent school system. Yet I always here from people that want to move to (Blank) County because they have the best schools. I think this may be based on rumor and not research.
Before you pack your bags and move your family to a "better" school system you should do your own research. Don't take my word for it or anyone else's word for that matter. This is a huge decision and you are the one who needs to be comfortable with it. Check with the Board of Education in each district, check with the state for stats and information, but whatever you do educate yourself.
