You may want to avoid moving to a state that is on the verge of insolvency, especially if teachers are allowed to strike.
LOL, that'd be a lot of states right now - at least on the insolvency front, no idea about the teacher strike rules.
School experiences are so much more local and personality (teacher, administrators) dependent that I don't think you can predict how it will go from the state.
If you cross-reference the states with the greatest funding shortfalls for the generously awarded, yet unsustainable pensions with the thirteen states that allow teachers to strike, CA, IL and WI are the standouts. Of these, only IL teachers utilize the strike option on a regular basis.
If ever there where a politician with the *gutts* to undo this fiasco, there would certainly be a temporary disruption to every level of education in IL. If no one fixes it, the state will financially implode. Either way the students suffer.
Anyway, as much as I would love to unload our house along with the ridiculously high property taxes, I could never advise someone to move to this area for the schools. We pay Chicago suburb level property taxes without the benefit of a Chicago suburb quality education. With two vacant homes to our immediate right and other close proximity homes into the second or third year of being offered for sale, we are stuck here for now.
