The decision to purchase a new home in a new location whether it be within your local area or somewhere new carries many variables. If a new job is bringing you to an entirely different state or county, deciding where to relocate your family within a given area can be challenging. The same can hold true if you are moving locally. How do you decide the best part of town to plant roots? What opportunities are available for a sustainable and enjoyable family life? What types of amenities are most important to you and your family? These are all important questions to ask when you are deciding upon a new home. Perhaps one of the most significant reasons to move or choose a certain location regards the school your child or children will be zoned to attend. Here in Brevard County, FL, we area blessed with incredible schools throughout the district. In fact, Brevard schools rank 5th in the state out of 67 school districts. You are sure to find a great school relatively close by with a little searching on your part.
A Mother’s Touch Movers, located in Melbourne, FL, has had the pleasure of assisting families during their moves for years. We have seen the joys and frustrations that moving can bring. The families we serve with school aged children all show great enthusiasm for the education their children will receive. If you are new to the area or simply moving across town, here are some great tips on finding the perfect school for your family.
First, consult the Brevard County Schools website. You will find a wealth of information there. There are detailed instructions on how to find out what school your address is zoned for. The website also has applications for magnet schools and allows you to apply to attend schools that are outside of your zone. You will find a district wide calendar to assist you in planning and receive detailed information on current events. This is a great resource for newcomers and long-term Brevard County residents.
There are also several sites available to you that show rankings for schools in the area. The Florida Department of Education allows you to check for the rankings of every school in the county (and every school in the state). This will let you know if the area you are moving into has A rated schools. Schools in Florida are rated based on a variety of factors with the ranking of “A” being the absolute best. We are fortunate to boast many A rated schools here in Brevard.
While you are checking out real estate on Zillow be sure to check their website for ratings on schools in the areas you are searching. Schooldigger.com and Greatschools.org are other great resources on finding the best education for your children.
