My wife and I are currently living in Queens, NY with our 6 children. We are working in purchasing a home, and we are looking in the Rochester area. I wanted to see if anyone could suggest a nice area for a mixed family. My wife is african american and I'm puerto rican and malaysian. I just want a community thats safe, and has a good edcucation system. Thanks for any replies.
Henrietta, Chili, Irondequoit, parts of Gates and parts of Greece also come to mind. Some school districts in some of the towns mentioned here are more highly regarded than others, but none of them are bad. Meaning, any district you pick will have at least solid schools with at least state average test scores and above average/high graduation rates.
Personally, I feel that Rush-Henrietta has a nice balance of cultural diversity(and historically so), good academic achievement(has actually had black grad rates that were higher than all other groups, while all of them were high in recent years) and relative affordability, with plenty of shopping in the town. It is also in a good location in terms of access to Rochester, nice rural areas/communities/outdoor amenities and highway access to get to other cities.
