    Beyond test scores, visit schools during school hours if possible. Observe the environment, talk to current parents, and ask about specific programs that matter to your family—whether that's STEM, arts, athletics, or special needs support.

    School district boundaries can and do change. Before purchasing a home based on school assignment, verify the current zoning directly with the school district. Your real estate agent should confirm this as part of the due diligence process.
