Are there other major concerns I should be aware of?

I've also heard specifically that Palm Beach County schools are giving children at the elementary school level 4 - 5 hours of homework per night. Is this true?

Please share your experience - good, bad or indifferent.

Thank you!
Hi! Did you and your husband ever make the move to FL? We're still researching, going to Boca next weekend and will be in Tampa over our son's Spring Break (I think I read this was another area you were looking at). We'll be making our decision in the next 6 months! Hope you've had some luck in your search

    Hi Kim!

    Yes, we did end up moving down. :-)

    We actually ended up on the Gulf side, and live about 30 min south of Tampa, in Riverview. We came down at the end of July and have been very happy with everything thus far.

    Since I knew we were coming over here, I didn't get much more research done on the Boca or Palm Beach County schools, but I'm happy to provide any info I can that might help you make your decision...just let me know!
