American Association of School Administrators
“[Education] is the best investment we can make – one that pays off in countless dividends, for us, for our children, and for our society . . . If we hope to maintain or improve the quality of life in our communities, attract new industries, and continue to prosper as a nation,top-notch schools are essential.”

USA Today
“…in city after city in the United States, a house in a high-quality school district is likely to be worth at least 10 percent more than a similar house, even one right across the street, whose residents must attend school in a lower-rated district (i.e., one rated lower on standardized test scores).”

Move, Inc.
“Because proximity to a quality school is such a high priority for some families as they search for their next home, buyers and sellers in cities with top ranked schools or school districts can often expect to see higher median list prices as compared to the statewide median list price, sometimes as much as 10 to 28 percent higher.”

NEIGHBORHOODS & SCHOOLS
Things Money Can’t Buy… I know my neighbors & we look out for one another.
I am proud of my community.
Properties are routinely updated & owners regularly re-invest in their homes.
Public & private properties are well kept, maintained & free of litter & debris.
My neighbors understand what is acceptable behavior in the community, & we all live well together.
Litter is not acceptable. We pick-up & remove litter from the street, sidewalks & lawns.
Cars are not parked on sidewalks or lawns in my neighborhood nor left in states of disrepair in the driveway.
