My husband is considering a job transfer to the Westchase/Odessa area near Tampa. We have 2 children (7th & 3rd grade). Looking for good schools and a safe family friendly neighborhood. Our kids are currently in AP classes. We hope to keep them on the accelerated track & are planning to enroll them in an IB program when they reach High school. Can anyone suggest good neighborhoods and schools in the area; public or private? Are the school ratings from Greatschools.org a reliable source? Are there any gems in the area with scores less than 10 we could be overlooking?
Thanks in advance!

If you can afford it, go private. If not, you can get some information from greatschools as a general guage. Try not to settle for anything less than an "A". Some families move to keep their kids in the highest ranked elementary - middle - high school. It's an option to consider.

I would recommend considering Steinbrenner High School in Lutz. Feeder schools are also great in that area.
