If you have children and are moving into a new home, one of the things you are often most concerned about are the schools; but often first time homebuyer are young, and have no children or have young children that are not in school yet. When this is the case, they assume that the school district is not an important part of the process of locating a home. This may not be true, especially for the first time home buyers.
Statistics say that a first time home buyer will purchase another home within 5 yrs. So, resale value of the first home will be an important factor. With this in mind school districts will matter to you whether or not you have children.
Contacting the school administration or at least looking at their websites will give you valuable information on test scores, school calendars and other vital statistics about the schools.
