Stella, I could not agree more. Which is why I never allowed my kids to be within 100 yards of a Warwick public school. But I think you're misunderstanding the relationship between property values and public schools. The best public schools in New England are driven by smart and well-educated people buying property in their desired locale, and demanding that their smart children are properly educated. Simply put, they were not attracted to the schools, but rather created them. If I'm wrong, the best public schools in New England would be found in Boston, the home of the priciest real estate. But I can assure you, no one in those expensive Boston homes is sending their kids to the Boston public schools.
