We're moving to Vancouver Wa in Aug. Need advice on areas to live & schools for our children 3rd & 8th grade.

We are moving in August to Vancouver, WA. Our extended family live in Portland so we'd like to live an easy distance from that area. Our son is in the 3rd grade and our daughter will enter 8th. She is of special concern because she's had to move a lot. She is very social and makes friends easily, but is shy at first.

Hi Laurie113,

You can easily start researching schools by using the research and compare feature on GreatSchools. I went ahead and pulled the page up, and you can start entering the criteria important to you. You'll be able to research test scores, parent reviews, teacher education levels, and more. The Vancouver page is located at www.greatschools.net/search/search.page?state=WA&q=Vancouver&type=school
