I can see your side and the best would be to have all 3 levels walkable... but if you have 2 working parents, elem and middle are pretty much set schedules whereas high school, it depends on what type of activities they are in (sports, band, choir, drama, math club?) and at least in my case, I don't plan to have my kids drive until they are 17 or 18 so that's at least 2-3 years where they need to figure out how to get to/from school.
Have their friends who drive pick them up in the morning ;D.
