Have you been spinning your wheels trying to figure out the best place to buy in the Silicon Valley that also reflects a good school district for your children? Many of my clients have asked the question… “How do I know if the schools attached to this house are good or not?” This is a very valid question, as parents only want the best for their children. Here in the Silicon Valley there are many school districts and the school ratings seem to go from one extreme to the other. Perhaps one of the best places to start is to look at the districts and schools that have the best scores. It is fairly safe to say that schools are looking at enrollments which do cause school boundaries to change, so buyers must be aware. You must check to make sure the home you have your eye on is attached to the school you want for your children. You might be wondering how to find out this information. School Academic Performance Index (API) scores are published each year, and we have included handy links below for more information!
