<p>I second New York. Well, NYC and its suburbs.</p>
<p>Yeah Montgomery County is definitely the model when it comes to public schools.</p>
<p>Mass. 10char</p>
<p>Fairfield County, CT</p>
<p>Definitely not Virginia as a whole, but Northern Virginia is pretty competitive.</p>
<p>NJ, especially places like Edison, are insanely competitive, most likely due to the insanely “diverse” demographics. My friend’s school has more orientals than whites, and more subcontinentals than whites + orientals + islanders + Hispanics + blacks, etc.</p>
