Of course, school rankings change from year to year. Schools make the top 10 list on year and then slip in ranking the next. Even when schools change their ranking, they still typically remain relatively highly rated and provide a good education for their students.
Even buyers who don’t have school age children frequently choose a home based on the quality of the local schools because those top elementary homes tend to hold their value better and sell for more than those in less desirable school districts with lower student performances.
