I am relocating from New England. I will be working in Dublin, OH. I have a 10 year old son and am trying to figure out where to buy a house. If you had to choose, what school district would you pick and why: Dublin, Westerville, Worthington, Hilliard? (From what I hear, I shouldn't even consider Columbus district)

I cannot speak about the surrounding school districts except for the Southwestern SD in Grove City. Avoid that one, too much politics detracting from student issues. Columbus does have a good alternative school program with some very good facilities, the most outstanding being the Metropolitan campus at Fort Hayes. It is a college preparatory program with emphasis on the arts. The school has no sports teams and no school colors. Respect for all is strongly emphasized and the staff are very caring. The curriculum involves more classroom hours per year than all other schools in the region, an extra 45 minutes daily. Fort Hayes is strictly a magnet school, not a "home district" school and is more like a college campus than a high school. Outside of the alternative school program, I would not recommend the Columbus PSD.

i just heard of an american website that may or may not be of some assistance. Ordinary students can evaluate ["name and shame" or praise] teachers and schools. Individuals comment on the teachers performance. Not sure what the address is though... i think it might be http://www.ratemyhighschool.com/register.php
