I live a couple of doors down from 291 Sackett street and I am zoned for PS 29. At least I was 2 years ago when my son started kindergarden.

If you’re really planning on sending your kids to public school from pre-K through 12th grade, you should consider the big picture. There are some great elementary schools in Brooklyn; however, the middle school and high school options (or at least transportation to the better MS and HS options) are not so great.
If you’re in it for the long haul – you should be looking in Victorian Flatbush. Very good elementary school options, including gifted programs, excellent access to top middle schools (Bay Academy, Hudde, Mark Twain – well not bad for Mark Twain which is impossible, generally). You are also well placed for Midwood HS (check out their Westinghouse scholars), Morrow, and the express bus which lets off right near Stuyvestant for the lucky winners…
MS 51 in district 15 is very good, but not all children from 321 will be accepted… There are few other options, other than Math and Science, but I think the location is horrible and the HS in the building is not ideal. Also, in North Brooklyn you are so far from the best Brooklyn MS and HS choices, you might as well be zoned for Manhattan (which you’re not).

Since I mentioned “Snark Attack” a couple of weeks ago in reference to a jab SnarkSlope took at Rob, I would love to think they lifted that from here!
Well, it only takes one buyer, but in my opinion, homes in the PS 32 zone just aren’t worth a $2 million dollar price tag at this time. And I don’t believe this house will sell for that much as a result. But, who knows, you may be right — we’ll keep watch on what this eventually sells for. I agree with you that the zoned elementary school is not your kid’s only option, but that’s been the case for years in District 15. Despite this fact, homes in 321 and 29 always got a higher price. My point was that this house is priced as high as homes in better school zones and I don’t think it’s worth the price.
Size matters! Reason to compare 2nd St and Sackett is in my book it’s about a wash — $2 mln for a puny 16′ wide in more established elementary school district should be comparable in price to a nice 20′ wide in less established zone. Tradeoff between school district and size and you come out close to even. My point is that the zoned elementary school is NOT your kid’s only option. Parents do have choices, and the middle schools are good.
