SCHOOLS MATTER
I find it crazy that parents of school age children ask us about SPECIALS, they ask about AMENITIES, the pool, fitness, club house, etc. Parents ask about the cost to get moved in, it never fails to shock me when parents DONT ask about schools! As a father of 4 children, where I lived ALWAYS depended on the schools. I moved into Cedar Park BECAUSE of the schools, I could not be happier. Cedar Park is not the only place with good schools, but you need to do YOUR homework in order to find the best school for your children.
Its a sad fact that all schools are not created equal, as a parent it is your responsibility to find the very best schools that you can for your children, schools do make a difference, either way. Schools that are highly rated have an effect on your child and so do schools that are rated low.
