I was considering a move to a community that I was told had the best
schools in the state about 5 years ago (not Minden - I have no idea
about the schools in Nevada). My kids shadowed classes and found the
local kids were more than a year behind them in many classes (at 5th
grade!). I couldn't figure it out until I discovered that the whole
state ranked pretty low nationally. Of course if your kids can't get
into college there'll be more funds available for that new
sailplane. ;-)

Caveat emptor.
