Schools here are expects to "produce" kids going to follow up education with the same statistics as the parents of those kids (if this makes sense, a bit of a hard sentence). So I guess it has to do a lot with the educational level of the population of people living around a school. Our kids go to a school further away though because the nearest one was a "vrije school" (free school, different system), the nearest one may also be (not) religious or different religion than you seek. And yes, this is a bit of a shock to Americans, we have schools for religions. Never really extreme though. Although I really disliked my christian education when I was young. In winter we often do go by car, it's about 10 min, by bike it's the same time (shorter distance, nicer ride through a park). What I hate about the car is that me and a lot of other cars really produce poor air around the school.
