UPDATE: A reader wondered recently what the mileage differences might be between Swan Creek and schools in the MMSD or Oregon*.

• High Schools: Madison West 7 miles [map] or Oregon High School 7 miles [map]
  
  
• Middle Schools: Cherokee 7.2 miles [map], Oregon's Rome Corner's Intermediate 7.7 miles [map] or Oregon Middle School 8.3 miles [map]
  
  
• Elementary Schools: Leopold 3.5 miles [map], Lincoln 4 miles [map], Midvale 8.2 miles [map]. Oregon: Prairie View Elementary 6.7 miles [map] Netherwood Elementary 6.7 miles [map] Brooklyn Elementary School 13 miles [map]

* Obviously, the pickup route and traffic conditions determine the actual travel time, given similar distances.
