How much difference does it make to send my kids to the top public schools?

I live in a pretty good neighborhood where not many kids drop out of school. 5-10 miles away, there are “better” neighborhoods where the houses cost twice as much, but the schools score in the top 10% of the state.

I can afford to move, but I am not sure if I want to. I have friends that are working like crazy so they can send their kids to one of the top public schools. I’m wondering if I could do better with a decent school but be around my wife and kids more. Am I missing something? Why are so many of my friends taking on heavy mortgages to do this? If my daughter turns out to be a genius, would I be better off in a private school anyway? Anyone?

A lot of kids I know that are my age dating , and I am in 7th grade, even some of my friends. One friend is in sort of an off and on thing, but to me, it seems sort of young to start dating. What do you think?
