I met a family this past weekend who have lived int he Charlotte area for all of about 3 months. They are currently renting an apartment for another 3 months and want to own. A young couple who have two children not yet ready for school. One of their first questions to me was "What are the schools like in Charlotte"?. Ethics preclude Realtors from steering anyone to a particular neighborhood or school.
When you are out lookign at a home or beginning the search for a home and schools are important to you. You need to get some independent information on a school. I send everyone of my clients that are considering a home based on the schools in that area to www.ncreportcards.org. The website is a snapshot report card for schools in North Carolina. Filled with a wealth of information it provides buyers with just about all the information they will need to decide if that is a school they are comfortable sending their children to.
It provides you with demographics of the school and how it rates as compared to the schools in Charlotte. In essence it puts a grade on the schools performance. You can find out the education level of the teachers as a percentage of all teachers. As well as the technology that is available to your children in that particular school. How the students perform in that school versus the district school system. And so much more....
So, if you are considering particular neighborhoods or areas and school assignment is important factor in your decision process visit www.ncreportcards.org.
