Consider Schools In Your Home Search

When looking for the perfect place to call home, many families must consider school districts in their search.  A good realtor, like the ones you find at the RE/MAX Pinnacle Real Estate Group can help you find the information that you need to make a great decision for your family.

School data can be found in several locations.  Each individual corporation will host a website.  If you are searching for a home in Hamilton County, you might take a look at the Carmel Clay School site.  Here you will find information for prospective students and families.  Want to understand Graduation Rates? Support Services? Advanced Placement Opportunities?  Be sure to check it out.  Most districts also welcome phone calls and visits from prospects.

Another additional resource for school data is the Indiana State Department of Education website.  On this site you will find specific numbers for each corporation and individual school.  Data is available for Graduation Rates, ISTEP scores, Star Schools, median income, population demographics, and advanced placement stats, to name a few.  You can use this site to compare schools in several different districts with the tools that the site offers.  This gives families who might be relocating into an unfamiliar area, the opportunity to make informed decisions.  Using Carmel Clay, Hamilton County schools as an example you will find stats for:

• The number of students attending the High School
• The percentage of students passing Math and English assessments
• Demographics for the area
• Staff data such as “Highly Qualified Teachers”
