Purchasing a home is a huge decision and many factors come into play when looking for a new home. How many bedrooms does your family need? What is the minimum square feet you desire? Do you want to live in an established neighborhood or in a more rural setting? In addition to all of these questions and criteria, one of the biggest factors that comes into play when you have school aged children is the school district.

According to realtor.com, one out of five buyers would give up a feature of a home (an extra bedroom or garage space) for a better school and one out of three would even buy a smaller home, if that allowed them access to a better school.

That being said, two highly sought after communities in the NE area of Charlotte are the towns of Harrisburg and Concord. Cabarrus County Schools offers many high quality schools in these locations, one of which is Patriots STEM Elementary (located in Concord, NC). This elementary school ranks as one of the Top 5 elementary schools in Cabarrus County when comparing all seven EOG subjects. (Patriots has the second highest proficiency rating for 5th grade reading!) Additionally, when the students take their EOG they are measured on whether he/she has made a “years’ worth of academic progress” and Patriots had the highest growth score amongst all elementary schools in the entire state of North Carolina!
