I think it was Jim that asked about schools.
I've done some checking in the Alex City, Dadeville, and Auburn area.
Coming in at # 3 - Dadeville High. (can't tell you much, as I dismissed it after researching #2, and #1) #2 - Russell High School - Alex City - good scores, good student teacher ratios, and about 900+ students.. #1 - Auburn High School - is the 120th top school in U.S. News and World Report in 2004? 2005? Out of 22,000 US public schools. Also rated in the top 100 schools in some Family magazine - like Parenting Magazine. Also mentioned by the New York Times? as the best public bang for the buck... Scores are great, many IB courses, choices in curriculum like engineering (can you believe in high school?), student/teacher ratio good, more than 50% teachers have advanced degrees, only about 900+ in high school (10th - 12th grade).....sorry I don't know the actual names of the publications...but if you research Auburn HIgh School, you can see for yourself. Fantastic school.
That's another reason (besides being priced out of Lake Martin) we have decided to retire to Auburn....including all the aforementioned tax credts, etc. The lake location, the tax situation, the schools (my youngest will be in 9th grade by then): our plans are to be there in 2 1/2 years!
We are already looking to purchase a lot...before THOSE prices get beyond us.....
