I'm basically going to rush to sell my home and find a new one in the best district we can afford. We are probably looking at half a mil for a house or 350 for a small townhome in the area. Taxes are high. We will take a loss on our home. But I guess you do what you have to do for your kids. I'm going to do what I can to make sure that we will get what we want in the better district. I have 2 other good districts I'm also looking at, slightly cheaper areas to live in, but further from our friends and outside the range of our current wraparound services. We all love our wraparound staff and want to keep them if we can.
Just an idea, but you can also rent your house out while renting in another district to test fit and minimize downside risk. You need not sell at a loss to secure a place at a school of unknown value. I wouldn't want to make more variables dependent on the school outcome than absolutely necessary.
