[quote=Anonymous]OP, we moved last year from the DC area and we're now in Cambridge. My spouse can walk to work and we love the diversity and liveliness of this city (pre-Covid anyway).
Also, despite the general consensus to avoid public school here my kids (JK and 1st- love that there's a public JK!) have been loving it so far.
They do have a lottery so if you don't want to deal with that this may not be the place for you, but my kids school (Graham & Parks) has actually been open 4 days a week since Oct. I don't know about the surrounding suburbs and their schools regarding closures, but I'm seriously in awe of the superintendent and all the staff's efforts to pull this off. I've heard that the high school here allows students in accelerated tracks to take pre-college courses in Harvard (which is very close to the high school) so while I know the high school garners mixed reviews, we are thinking of settling here long term.
Fwiw we are not white so that has definitely contributed to our decision to start here instead of the suburbs with excellent school districts which people usually recommend.
Just my 2c.[/quote]
