School scores are just one data point to compare districts. The overall Palo Alto school district had a Growth API score of 925 in 2010. The Burlingame school district definitely has comparable schools that are around this score, but you really need to dig deeper to see the exact location to get a better idea. Hope that helps, Alex Hi Tony,

I find it especially fun to work with couples who think they're on the same page, really aren't, and finally getting them to compromise on their home. After all, life is a compromise and buying a home is always one and I don't care what price that property is, it is always a compromise on something. I, too, have had clients who must live in the best school district when they have an infant in their arms and most likely won't own that home when he starts school. It's so hard to get them to understand how unimportant that is at that stage of their lives. Some day..... Great commentary, Steve.
