People give all sorts of credence to tabloid nonsense. I mean look at the way people take the US News school reports seriously (rather some reasonably valid system like Niche or QS or another)
There are some sections of Medford that are actually quite nice, in particular a section called "Old Medford". I sometimes think people object more to the school districts associated with Medford than to the community itself.
When you ask yourself if it is worth shelling out X amount of dollars for Medford, I would say as compared to what? Lloyd Neck? Commack? North Babylon? Each have their price points...
I lived in Medford for 7 years. The area right off Woodside Ave and rt 112. Beautiful area, and I loved it. Schools? The HS is the worst problem, but my kids did just fine. There are some crappy areas, that is true.
