For families with children, one of the primary concerns in moving to a new home is what schools your children will attend. Montgomery County has some of the best schools in the nation. To see a full listing of both public and private schools, you can check the website Great Schools. School Matters is another site providing information on local schools, and still another will provide rankings on area public schools. As a subscriber to the eNeighborhoods resource site, I can create a custom school report for you for any school systems that you desire. I can even create a report that compares the system you are currently in (nationwide) with the local high school district that you are considering. If you would like a listing of the private schools that are within a defined proximity of the house you would like to live in, I can email a report to you with that specific information from the eNeighborhoods database.
