I am looking for a single family home in a good school district. I was looking at either Yorkville or other cities that feed into Oswego's school district. Can anyone tell me about the schools in either Yorkville or Oswego. We are a hispanic family looking for diversity

Another option you might look into would be Plano, a much smaller and affordable community thats just a couple of miles from Yorkville. If I was tho choose between the two you mentioned, I would go with Yorkville just to avoid the huge growth issues that Oswego will see in the next decade.

Have you been to Yorkville in the last 5 years?? If not, maybe the numbers provided on this website will shed some light:"Population (year 2000): 6,189. Estimated population in July 2005: 10,791 (+74.4% change)" And there doesn't appear to be any end in sight. Every time I drive through there it seems like another subdivision is already going up before they even get finished building the last one. |

I was referring to the schools, not the actual community.. Oswego schools just approved a $450 million building bond issue and plan on building a 3rd high school within 3 years. Yorkville is still a single high school district with no plans to need another in the near future.

Oswego school district includes much more than just Oswego, while I believe Yorkville is the only town that feeds into the Yorkville schools. Despite all the growth that both the Yorkville and Kaneland school districts have seen over the last 10 years, their enrollments at the high school level have both increased from around 700 to around 1100 in that time frame.

I teaching in district 308 (Oswego) so perhaps I'm biased, but this is a great district. Growing.....definitely, but great! We definitely have diversity, which is something you won't see much of in Plano or Yorkville.

There is little point in buying a house in a community with poor schools. The poverty will be harder to sell, and home values will appreciate slower. The real estate market is pretty depressed right now. It might be better to wait and see which of these "instant" suburbs makes it through the "wash." In times of severe economic downturn, the funding for school improvements drys up due to lowered tax collections. You cannot separate a community from its schools; one is a mirror of the other.
