Woodcroft in Durham (buying a home, neighborhood, buying)

[fromOH]

My husband and I (and our infant daughter) are seriously considering buying a home in Woodcroft - we love the feel of the neighborhood (both demographics and visual appearance), the trees and trails, and the houses....our only concern (which I've seen from other threads is a common one) is the schools to which Woodcroft is zoned (Southwest, Githens, Hillside). Are there any Woodcroft residents out there that have experience with these schools? We've heard enough good things about the elementary school but not a lot about Hillside high school. I know that there is a lot of misinformation out there about Durham public schools - I don't want to listen to hearsay and rumors...I'd love to hear from actual parents who have children at these schools presently or in the past. I also know that Durham prides itself on Schools Of Choice -- how easy is it to get into different schools if you are unhappy with your assigned school? Thanks in advance!

I don't know much about hillside but you might want to check Strong Durham Schools for parent reviews of various schools.

I wouldn't worry about Woodcroft--it will continue to have strong resale for the reasons that make you want to live there.

good luck!
