I agree, we moved to Belmont for the schools but have both our kids in private school - hence we are broke.

One not obvious issue with schools is the local demographics are NOT always in sync with the student body demographics.

Menlo Park which has a high income tax base has a mixed group of students. The wealthy families put their kids in private schools, the result is a student body out of sync with the local demographics. I would of never expected this but one of our close friends is a teacher in Menlo Park/Atherton and has to put her kids in private schools vs the local public schools in Menlo/Atherton district.
