Are you planning on putting your daughter in a private school? Because otherwise she will have to attend a school determined by where she lives. You will not be able to say that you don't like the school she is going to and send her somewhere else unless you put her in a private school. The school system is a primary reason for selecting one area over another. Even in towns with good school systems, some schools might be attended almost entirely by children of immigrants from all over the world, which will be an added strain on your daughter and will not help her with English. I think dyslexic children are mainstreamed (put in with all the other students) and given special help. You need to see her school, and her potential classmates, but since school is either out or will be shortly, that may be impossible. Small classes are not the norm in America.

This is not true, you can place you child in another school not in the direct area of where you live, it is a right to choose education which is covered in the NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND legislation, you may have to pay for the move to another public school but it would still be much less than paying for private schools, however I will tell you that generally depending on the the school you may have larger classes than you wish to have. If the school is of that much importance. I would check out the schools before you decide on a place to live.
