[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that is overlooked by many in DMV is that Massachusetts generally has the best public primary and secondary schooling in the country. The baseline of kids is higher than one would expect from your familiarity with Maryland, Virginia, and DC school systems. And the very top tier of students at UMass, as is true at just about any flagship, is as smart as students anywhere. Couple that with the fact that many middle class families in Massachusetts are foregoing a lot of great (but not quite elite) New England privates because they don’t offer much merit aid (unlike similar-caliber schools in other parts of the country), and UMass is on the rise.[/quote] +1. Excellent points and very helpful [/quote]
