As a longtime real estate professional, I have been asked many times about schools. I cannot comment whether a school system is 'good,' 'bad,' equal to or worse or better than another. It can be interpreted a steering—an illegal practice where a client is influenced toward or away from a neighborhood based on protected characteristics. Current or prospective parents need to do their own diligence and decide which specific school or district they prefer. For some, it may not matter. Some might want to focus on a particular program or interest that the kid studies or activity. Consider your budget, any requirements within the house itself, distance to services & amenities, and commute tolerance. Every town differs in terms of housing availability, services/commercial options, and real estate pricing. The Greater Danbury area covers over 450 square miles, which is as large as New York City. Different school systems comprise this area.
