According to American law, any child living in a school district has the right to attend public kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools in the district for free. The municipal government divides the jurisdiction into different blocks, and the school district can be assigned to each street and each house number, which is not directly related to the administrative district. Every household has a school that matches the nearby school district.
However, although many parents in the United States attach great importance to education, they don't seem as crazy as their parents in China. Behind the recent hot sales of school districts in the United States, a large number of buyers are Asians, especially Chinese, basically for their children to go to school.
In fact, the "school district" in the United States is not difficult to find, nor is it sky-high. The markets in different regions are different. Generally speaking, school district houses are only slightly more expensive than houses in other areas. The specific situation also involves many factors such as community environment, cultural atmosphere and development level.
Although it sounds as if Americans' enthusiasm for buying "school districts" is similar to that of China people, they are actually different in many ways. They don't blindly pursue the so-called school district, but choose the appropriate scheme according to their family situation.
Taking new york as an example, buying a school district house is not a pass for the best school in the school district. Because for each address, children can only choose one school. If you catch up with schools with good reputation and top rankings, you need to queue up, which has led to a surge in the number of queues in many public schools. In order to solve the problem of "numbering", American parents came up with a more feasible scheme.
ICT overseas investment professionals say that renting a house is a better solution for them. According to the regulations of new york, as long as the home address is located in the school district, you can apply for admission to schools in this area. Therefore, in addition to buying a house, renting a house in a specific school district is also a direct way for children to enter popular public schools.
