Although there are many criteria surrounding families' choices when they are trying to select the right school for their children - parental involvement, ethnic diversity, school size, teacher/student ratio, computer/student ratio, sports involvement, languages taught etc - test scores are still the main attraction (and hence the correspondingly higher house prices) for families we relocate into the Silicon Valley area.
