We will be moving to the Winchester area this summer. Has anyone any input regarding the schools, specifically High Schools and Middle Schools, in Winchester city compared to the county schools? Overall, what else should we consider (other than the higher tax rate) when choosing between buying property in the county vs. city?

I teach at one of the county middle schools. Not very many discipline problems that I see. When substitute teachers are here, I've had a few mention how much better behaved they are here compared to the city middle school. Different student population types explain a lot of it, although that is changing.

Both are pretty equal education-wise, imho. Handley HS in the city has a rich history and a lot of city pride. The county schools are newer.

I bought a house in the county vs in the city mostly due to taxes and the amount of land you can get. Of course if you are near downtown you are close to all the places to eat and shops. It's a trade off.

So, this didn't really answer any of your questions - lol!
