School Stats

In the Midwest, mid August marks a slowing trend in real estate. It is the time that most families have already settled into their new homes and are now busily preparing for the upcoming school year. With most local schools beginning this week, your child’s performance is more important than you think.

Did you know that a student’s overall success and school performance often dictates the appreciation value of local neighborhoods?

Of the top concerns for relocating families, school statistics is one of the most important. Parents often want the best schools for their children which they often base from pupil/teacher ratios, discipline, school design, and “quality” teachers along with test scores.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) documents that communities with better student performance often have higher home appreciation values. If a school’s characteristics have universal appeal to parents, it can lead to a rise in property values due to families moving into that school’s community.
