You're right, and I should have been more specific.

Bloomfield Township along Telegraph north of Square Lake is junky. Pontiac schools, and most folks don't even know that section is actually Bloomfield Township.

There are, however, some parts of Bloomfield Township north of Square Lake, and West of Telegraph, that are quite nice. Not suprisingly, they are West Bloomfield or Bloomfield schools.

So basically, the school district boundaries are the guideposts for prosperity. The township and city limits don't matter much.
