After Buying A House Do You Guys Moved To Another City Because Of Good Schools?

Thanks for bringing out the essence of shortlisting or selecting the buy of home keeping chils’s Future uppermost in mind. A vital point.
Regards.

 

Please don't worry about when to move from the kids point of view as the kids will adjust. But to make the right decision early will elongate the benefit to a longer time.

If it is right to move, do it early so your child will be benefitted.

Ratings is one thing ( most elementary schools should have good rating, 7 is kind of low ), but leaving out the rating, your kid will benefit being around indian kids. It is amazing how early the segregation starts in schools. It the percentage is balanced, the segregation is less.

Having said all of this, please make your own decision ( is what you think I will say ).

My suggestion is to move yesterday so that your kid will benefit being among kids whom she can relate to better.

 

Mehana, it is not uncommon in the Bay Area to rent a house in a good school district while having bought a house in a ok school district.
Can you put up the house you bought in a ok school district for rent ?See how the KG year goes, check if your kid is learning at the same level that your friends kids in other school districts are learning. If not, first or second grade is a good time to move .

I would not move with a sole purpose of having Indian kids around. My kids schools have a good mix of all nationalities. My goal is that they should be able to adjust to different cultures, they will not have all Indian colleagues when they join the workforce. You also have to remember that Indian kids growing up in the US are essentially Americans. You might drag them to balvihar but they will never be as desi as you are.
