Are the school fees an indicator to the school's quality??

Absolutely not.  The school's quality ultimately comes down to the teachers.

No.\n\nI'd say, sometimes Ivy League schools are a waste of money. Sure you get a good name on your diploma but it's how well you learn and what you learned from your college that matters the most. Experience acquired before and during college is important too to employers.

If your child is elgible for free or reduced cost school meals or is you are getting cash assistance or food stamps then you child is elgible for reduced tuition fees at thier school. Ask the school admin office for information.

I would say its very important if you have kids...you will be paying taxes that benefit this school and if for some reason you decide that it isn't the right one for your kids you will have to transport them elsewhere and even pay for their tuition in some cases.  Its pretty easy to investigate academic levels of distinction online as well - if you are concerned with the quality of education your child will receive.\nIf you don't have any children, the school district may dictate how "resellable" your house is to families with children and may also have a lot to do with what kind of neighbors you might expect to deal with in that area.\nBottom line is that its definitely worth investigating prior to buying a house - that way you can weigh your options either way.

Well, it's not one school system, it's many.  Some are very poor, and some are very good.  I graduated from a school system that sends many students on to Ivy League schools and has a very strong academic reputation.  I taught in a school system that has a very poor reputation and has many students who struggle with remedial classes at the local colleges.

It depends on your location.  That is a good question to ask the school you are going to be attending, they will know the local market and placement rates for their students.

If it is used for education from an accredited institution.

Check their accreditation credentials.  If it is not an accedited school, then be careful!  You might check at the admissions department of another school that know for sure is accredited, like Penn State...

Generally it is because long time resident have paid taxes that are allocated to the schools.  People from outside the state have never contributed to the state where you intend to go to school.  Therefore they charge more.

School fees could be for special supplies such as photography materials, science labs, workbooks, etc.  They may also have a "pay-to-play" policy, which seems more and more common these days.\n\nJust give the school a call to find out for sure.  They could probably even give you an estimate of how much fees typically run.  (419) 289-7968\n\nFYI, my dad lives in Ashland.  There are NO JOBS there!  Most of the factories have closed or are closing soon.  But the town itself seems to be growing.  Of course, if you are in a white-collar profession, the lack of jobs may not affect you that much.

I don't really know much about this issue.  It seems to me though that if students could take their tax dollars to whatever school they wanted, then the schools would have to compete for business, and "when banks[schools] compete, you win." The schools would become competitive, and if a school wanted to keep itself afloat, then it would have to work really hard to keep up the educational standards.  \n\nI apologize for not giving you reasons against the vouchers.  This is the only thing I could think of off the top of my head.

In short yes.\nLaw schools base who they choice on these factors:\nLSAT\nGPA in relation to courses taken and generally better schools are rated higher. a 4.00 at a community college is not equal to a 4.00 at a top 5 school and ect.\nThey also look at your other activities and generally you have to write an essay about yourself and that is also used to determine if you are granted admission.

The same, but usually private school more expensive.

Well, I know some of them allow your kids to go to school there for free, or at least for a cheap price so long as you work there.  With tuition at the level it is now, that's a big reason to work there.

Hi. I'm a Bulgarian student and to be honest don't know what you exactly mean. In BG the Ministry of Education has the idea to calculate the month salary of the teachers by giving test to the students. The inspectors come to the school and give the students the tests. Then the test are checked and depending ot the marks (better marks=better teacher) they decide if the teacher is doing his job right and give him more or less money. I hope that this is what you're asking about. However this system is not applied yet, but it'll probably soon be applied.

I've never heard of a school charging more for international students. They DO charge more for everyone who is not a resident of the state the school is in (called nonresident tuition), but this applies to US citizens just as it does international students.
