Choosing a Home Near the School You Want Your Child to Attend

When you find a school you want your child to attend, let your REALTOR® know. We can search for homes in that school’s zone. However, it’s a good idea to pick more than one school – that way, you’ll have more options (and you’ll have something to fall back on if there aren’t any homes that meet your criteria in a certain school zone).

 

What to Look for in a School

When you’re looking for a school for your child, watch for:

  • High expectations of students. Most students will rise to the occasion when they’re challenged at school – both with academics and ethical behavior.
  • Busy students. Busy, engaged kids are learning.
  • Great teachers. Ask friends and family to find out about their experiences with a school you’re interested in sending your child to – they’ll give you their honest opinions.
  • A rigorous curriculum. School doesn’t have to be incredibly demanding, but the curriculum should match what’s happening in the rest of the state – and if possible, it should include fine arts and other enrichment programs.
  • Results you can live with on standardized tests and school report cards. You can check a school’s report card within Howard County Schools here.
