Considering schools for our two elementary-aged kids (1st and 3rd grade). We're looking at areas like The Heights, Garden Oaks, and Oak Forest, so we're curious about the quality of public schools there. What are your experiences with those schools? Are there any specific campuses you'd recommend or avoid?

Also, what are your thoughts on private schools in the area? Are they worth the cost, or are we better off investing in tutoring/extracurriculars to supplement a good public school education? Seems like all the info I'm getting is a school like this trying to sell you on their curriculum.
