We bought a house in a decent neighborhood with 1 of the better school districts in our area. However, we learned that the education in our local district really left a lot to be desired, even though it scores as 1 of the better districts. We switched our kids to a charter school and end up driving 30-45 min each way from home to school every day, but it’s been totally worth it. My kids have developed such a passion for learning from the teachers at the charter school. Plus, we don’t have to pay any private school tuition and we didn’t have to move. Their school is really diverse and we really enjoy that…30 different languages spoken at home among all of the students’ families!
