Excellent Schools Draw Families to West Linn
Jody McLeod April 12th, 2007
What tops a home-buyer’s priority list when purchasing a new home? Price? Crime statistics? Square footage? For many families, schools can be a deciding factor.
It was for my family. In addition to liking the area, we moved to West Linn because of the school district’s reputation. And we haven’t been disappointed; my kids have had great instructors who genuinely care about their students and an administration that has been responsive to our questions or concerns.

Thanks for the info. My wife and I just had our first child and are contemplating a move from San Jose, CA. Schools are our top priority and West Linn looks great in this regard.
