Putting a value on good schools

10 Nov 2014


Here’s a fact that demonstrates the value of good schools: Research shows that parents will pay up to 14 percent more for their home if it is located in a good school district (http://ow.ly/zpaRZ). Why? Because they want their kids to start out with every advantage they can.


That’s one key factor in why so many parents choose Gage County, Nebraska. With four school districts located in the county (plus three more nearby that serve Gage county families and students), our average student-teacher ratio is 14:1.
