I can't overstate the importance of a good school district.
In elementary school we got stuck in some backwoods East Texas school district. That ghetto school was so bad all the teachers were either coaches, or so old they would just assign pages to read while they slept at their desks.
By the time my pops got things turned around and put us in a better financial situation I was so far behind I had to repeat both the fifth and sixth grade. I don't think I ever really lined up with my peers until my junior year of high school.
