For those that may be looking into moving to the area, something I just found out in regards to the Lyncourt UFSD is that while the district doesn't have a high school(only K-8th grade), I knew that students could go to Solvay for high school. I just found out that students within that district can also choose to go to East Syracuse-Minoa for high school as well. High School Choices | Lyncourt School District
I believe that the addition of ES-M is new again, as I believe that it was an option decades ago. I also believe that North Syracuse HS, before it combined with Cicero HS in 1983 to form Cicero-North Syracuse HS, was another option in the past as well.
So, while these aren’t the school districts that are always touted on the lists, there are still potential opportunities out there through these SD’s that could put your child ahead of the game without or with less debt, if college is an option.
Some home/property listings for these school districts, for those interested.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — CenterState CEO, in partnership with Jubilee Homes of Syracuse Inc., will offer scholarships for those interested in completing the FAA’s part 107 course during the upcoming New York State Drone Expo and Race Competition.

ONONDAGA COUNTY ANNOUNCES PLAN FOR “ENHANCED” VILLAGE-IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Onondaga County Legislature will consider a plan for an “enhanced” village-improvement program “to address the growing need to invest” in the county’s villages.
Onondaga County Executive J. Ryan McMahon II; David Knapp, chairman of the Onondaga County Legislature; and Mark Olson, mayor of the Village of Fayetteville and president of the Onondaga County Mayor’s Association on Wednesday announced the new agreement on the program
Lawmakers will vote on the plan at either their Dec. 18 meeting or the Jan. 2 meeting, Knapp said as the group addressed reporters in the county executive’s office Wednesday morning.
In his remarks, McMahon said the current plan with the villages is set to expire. He also called the new plan the “first real large intergovernmental win for the community for the next 10 years of this administration.”
“This is funding that goes to our villages that addresses their capital needs, their public-safety needs, their neighborhood-development needs, and helps stabilize property taxes,” said McMahon.
The program calls for the allocation of $5.25 million to be made available starting Jan. 1, 2020, per an Onondaga County news release on the topic.
It will increase to $5.5 million 2023, $5.75 million in 2026, and $6 million in 2029. The program will run for a period of 10 years.
