nice place in a good district. You can't count on private, nor on G&T. A good zoned school is worth sacrificing for. [ Reply | More

I am the former. And in a twist of fate, my ds has had to attend the crappy public schools this past year. Hate the school, but haven't felt the need to move yet. [ Reply | More

With all of the uncertainty about how to deal with systemic overcrowding in the public schools (yes, even the "good" publics), you might end up buying into a good zone, only to be re-zoned out of that zone. It's just a possiblity that you need to seriously consider. [ Reply | More
