Building design and facility conditions have been associated with teacher motivation and student achievement.
The National Association of Realtors reports that the quality of schools is one of the two most important factors people and businesses consider when choosing a location.
Property values increase in neighborhoods with higher-spending schools. Impact of schools can increase property value from 5 - 10%.
