Buyers Want to Know: About Area Schools

Many times a buyer may be searching in an area without much familiarity with it.  And they're hoping their Realtor can provide them with an "orientation" to the area, and describe the nature or quality of local shopping, proximity to freeways, or schools.  Schools are usually important to parents because they want to ensure their children (or child) is receiving a good education in a good learning environment.  

But what Realtors specialize in is listing and selling property, and while they may have certain personal knowledge and experience with area resources, they cannot personally or professionally vouch for area standards, nor attempt to define what is "good", "not good" or "excellent" for their client. But what a Realtor can do is point their client to resources that help a buyer complete the buyer's investigation of their potentially new neighborhood, so that buyers may determine for themselves what is satisfactory or not.

The following links are found on one or more State of California websites, and are there for anyone to use!

California Distinguished Schools

School Accountability Report Card 

Charter Schools in California

There are other sites which rate schools, but before you make up your mind about a school based on a certain rating, take the time to research it more indepth and consider what is really important to you. Compare other schools to the one you may be considering, and also research online about the current educational issues for students statewide. 

Hopefully, you will find the right neighborhood for you faster, if you start your search for factors important to you early!
