In my businesss as a Real Estate advisor I deal with a lot of families relocating to San Francisco and Marin County. By far, the biggest concern that parents have is where to send their children to school. As a result I've done a lot of research of both the public and private schools, including interviewing admission staffs and private education placement consultants. As a parent of a boy and girl in elementary school I've gone through many of the same issues that your likely to encounter. If you are planning on moving to Marin County or San Francisco and need some guidance feel free to contact me and I'll see if i can help. MarinHomeSale.Com
