Buying A Home In A Better School District
As your family grows, your priorities often change, especially when it comes to your children’s education. Not all school districts are created equal, and some offer a more comprehensive range of classes. For example, you may be dissatisfied with your current district’s test scores, or want to provide your children with the option to take STEM* or other non-traditional classes.
If you decided that it was time to move early this year, the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic might have forced you to postpone your move. If you’re now thinking it’s too late for that move, here’s some good news.
When you choose Certainty to finance your purchase, we’ll help you make your move in time for the new school semester. Not only are we prioritizing purchase home loans, but we also network with real estate professionals in multiple states who can help you sell your current home and buy in your preferred school district or neighborhood.
Great Schools is a national nonprofit dedicated to assisting families with their education options. Here, you can view thousands of schools’ ratings for Academic Progress, Test Scores, College Readiness, Student Demographics, Attendance Records, and even COVID-19 response. If you won’t settle for anything less than a school with a perfect score, click on a state to see which schools scored 10 out of 10.
If you’ve already prepared a shortlist of preferred districts and neighborhoods, Zillow’s Zendesk enables you to view school data for each area. You’ll need to download the Zillow app to use this search.
