The bottom line as far as I'm concerned is that a few thousand dollars over several years isn't worth it if your wife will feel trapped by it.

Current specific job? Maybe, maybe not. Current district (were almost all of the schools qualify)? Highly likely. In a surrounding district where they have schools that qualify? Almost a given.
