The main problem with living far away from the school (assuming you're not a monster who drives it every day) is that many of the kids friends will also be miles away, especially if they live n miles away from the school in the opposite direction.
Definitely agree with that. It would be really nice from a social and lifestyle pov if the school 5min walk away wasn't below average on every metric.
Fortunately the school we have is >3miles and only a 7min drive.
Or don't move house if it works for you.
Bigger problem is the short drop journeys <3km especially at secondary school.
