Brea, Ca Real Estate

Being the Buyer's Market that it is, one of the top questions I'm asked by families moving in to the area is "How are the schools?" The other comment given by families moving in to bigger homes are "I'd like to keep my kids in the Brea Olinda School District." So I know this is very important in many peoples minds. Education is important to me and my family. My wife and I have a daughter that is 7 months old, so what school she'll be going has been mentioned. Plus my my wife is a six grade school teacher in La Habra, Ca at Washington Middle School, so it's of big concern.

It's still all about Location, Location, Location and now a days people can be picky. With the increase of housing affordabilty and homes on the market, people are finding homes at a good prices, good neighborhoods, and perfect for children. Brea homes fits right into all three those categories. If schools area important to you, Brea should be on your places to live list. To give you an idea of Brea Schools I'd pulled information from www.greatschools.com. The list below are of each of Brea's public schools and their Academic Performance Index or API numbers .

The purpose of Academic Performance Index (API) is to measure the year-over-year growth in academic performance for California schools. The API summarizes a school's stnadardized test scores into a single number, which ranges from 200 to 1000. The statewide API goal is 800 for all schools; higher numbers generally indicate better performance on the tests.

Brea Schools are California Distinguished Schools
