[quote=Anonymous]I’d never move to the Deep South or out west looking for good public schools. Maybe Utah and Colorado would be ok but that’s about it. This area is great if you have a really advanced/driven/mature student who really wants to go far above and beyond a standard HS curriculum. If you have an average or above average or even “good/great” student, it’s probably better in a good district in the Midwest. My cousins have 4th and 1st graders in a top district near Columbus, Ohio (Dublin, for those familiar with the area, it’s about 75% white and 20% Asian) and their general education is seemingly equal to our AAP and is really great. High property taxes and higher sales tax though, although I don’t think it applies on most groceries. Property taxes are even higher near Cleveland, but again, there are some really good districts in the wealthy suburbs. But I’d pick VA’s public colleges and universities over Ohio’s so that is another consideration. [/quote]
