At Colorado Springs New Homes we were pleased to find
Colorado Springs listed in RelocateAmerica's
Top
25 Places to Live to go to School in 2007. Cities were "first nominated by
their own residents, parents, students and teachers" and were "then compared
with statistical data by the RelocateAmerica editorial team to conclude the Top
25." Among the more specific criteria were "strong support and spirit for local
schools, high parental involvement, [and] strong academic achievement and
performance." Colorado Springs was included in the list for:
� "high ranking
academics" and "high academic standards"
� "teachers and
administrators noted as being �involved, caring and the best quality in
educational standards'"
� "extracurricular
programs including community theater programs, competitive athletics, art and
cultural offerings"
� "parent
involvement and communication between schools and parents"
Families with
children almost always take schooling into consideration when making a
significant move, which is why this ranking is so significant for the Colorado
Springs New Homes area. RelocateAmerica is a valid resource for people
researching new places to move to, so this particular ranking will likely have
some sway as families prepared to move consider which school systems in the
country are the best to be a part of.
