Questions to ask before choosing an address
Which district actually serves the addresses we are considering in Montour County?
Do the neighborhoods we like fall inside the same district, or are we comparing different Montour County district systems?
What changes at the elementary-to-middle and middle-to-high transitions in the district pathway we would likely use?
If we need a program not visible in the NCES flags, which district office can confirm current offerings?
Are the largest listed schools the ones our address can actually attend, or are they only county-level context?
