Questions to ask before choosing an address
Which district actually serves the addresses we are considering in Crockett County?
Do the neighborhoods we like fall inside the same district, or are we comparing different Crockett County district systems?
What changes at the elementary-to-middle and middle-to-high transitions in the district pathway we would likely use?
