Hi there--
I am moving with my three school age children to NH from Ohio--My house sold quickly and we are planning on moving with 5 weeks. I am trying to narrow down some great school districts that offer a bit more diversity than Bedford and Amherst areas. I have liked what I have found re: the Concord school district but am curious what neighborhoods are most family friendly. Also, I am planning on renting for a year before buying and if anyone has any resources for finding a home to rent that would be really appreciated!!!
You're not going to find a lot of racial diversity at any school in NH because the state is pretty white. And unfortunately, school performance is pretty well correlated with socio-economic status, so the "best" schools tend not to be schools with a lot of socio-economic diversity. That said, even wealthier towns sometimes have lower-income residents renting houses and apartments, so if you poke around you may find a school with the right balance for you.

We were moving for more affordable housing and good schools, and were willing to give up racial diversity to get it. That's okay though. There are other kinds of diversity besides race and we're discovering that
