[quote=Anonymous]Question for any Boston, or Massachusetts, natives out there--- Looking for someone who understands where I am coming from. 
Would you consider moving back for a MA private high school for your children?  We are considering doing that, but I was curious to see if anyone else would do that as well?  (Our jobs allow the flexibility to do so.)

The college matriculations in NOVA and DC, even at the best private schools, are not lining up with those in MA.  (There are even some top public high schools in MA with better matriculations than the top private schools here!  IYKYK!)

But, it is really confusing as to WHY?

Price point wise, the tuition at the top private high schools here are the same as in MA, so that cannot be the case.  I am also 1000% sure these students work extremely hard and are wonderful college applicants, so that cannot be the case either!

I really cannot get past the differences in outcomes, (again, even compared to two top MA public schools).  Has anyone originally from MA figured it out?

I feel very out of place living here.  We have met amazing, wonderful people but the vibe around education is very different.  (Again, IYKYK.)  It is really hard for us to even consider having our children apply around here and, IF accepted, pay the same exact price with these differences.  Thanks for reading.
