Default Ann Arbor public schools

Hi, I'm relocating my family to AA from the metro area this summer. Can anyone tell me how good or bad the public schools are there?

Most of them are very very good. They are fairly large schools and have the advantages (offering lots of stuff) and disadvantages (control, safety) that come with very large schools. You can find school data online. This includes test scores, percentage graduating, percentage continuing to college/university, etc. You really have to visit any school to have any chance of getting a feel for what it is like. If you decide to talk to parents or students, about the school, talk to a lot of them. Often you will find people with jaded or rose colored viewpoints. It is hard to get a neutral evaluation. We looked very seriously at Ann Arbor schools because we were considering moving there. We ended up not because we did not want to live in a city and you get nicer properties for your money outside of cities, but you cannot beat Ann Arbor if you want to live in a City.
