From everything I have heard, a good elementary school is the gold standard. You can attract growing families, and elementary schools tend to have fewer negative side effects than high schools. 

I have found this site very useful to get a pulse on the school districts:

Interesting... so are you saying don't even consider great high schools or simply prioritize great elementary schools over great high schools when researching market/submarkets?

Hey guys when researching a market to invest in, and looking for a good school within a school district does it matter if the school being considered/evaluated is an elementary, middle school, or high school? Does it matter if t is a public, private, or magnet school?

Thank you,

Jason

Should intermediate schools with less than 600 students be considered?

Here is an overview of the San Antonio MSA so that you have an idea as to what counties, towns, and school districts are considered to be within the San Antonio MSA. https://statisticalatlas.com/metro-area/Texas/San-...

It seems like you have a good idea of what you are looking for, but I wouldn't automatically discount the best schools in a poor performing school district because they can be a huge draw for people who live and work in the area. If your initial evaluation is strictly school districts then you should look to the more affluent suburban areas as they will almost always be higher ranked than the inner city school districts.

I completely agree, as previously suggested, that you should definitely do a little in person evaluation of the city and surrounding area before you decide to part with your money.

Thank you so much
