<p>All the communities that I have ever heard of- with great schools- either are in the boonies, or they are in communities so pricey they make Bellevue look like Petticoat Junction.</p>
<p>Districts change so much- that a neighborhood school could be great, in 5 years be horrible and in 5 more years be good again.</p>
<p>Id look at other quality of life indicators- a family attentive community will have good schools.</p>
