One thing that Minnesota always seems to offer (besides a chilly winter) is great school districts. I am pleased to say that the St. Cloud public and private schools, as well as the surrounding schools of Rocori, Sartell, Sauk Rapids-Rice, Foley, and Becker tend to beat even Minnesota's phenomenal testing averages. I recommend that anyone who is looking to move into Central Minnesota take some time to check out some of the local school's testing results and school's websites. This becomes even more of a neccessity if you have school age kids or are planning to have children sometime in the near future. Below is a list of some of the local school district's websites that will be of interest to you as a potential home buyer. I've also included some websites that compare all of the local school districts to one another. If you cannot find the information that you are looking for on any of these sites, give Jason Tangen a call at (320) 492-2667 or e-mail me at jason@stcloudedina.com.
