suggestions on excellent public schools anywhere in the U.S.

<p>It really depends on what is a good public school for these folks. I found out when I moved to NY that the best public schools in the country were not good fits for our family. A great school district that has huge schools, for instance, may not be the choice of families that like smaller schools. A very competitive environment may not be the best choice either for some kids. So “best” is not always best. Also what kind of environment do they want, near a large city? How far in the future are they looking? I love the Virginia state uni system, but don’t know how the elementary schools fare. The Hope program that Georgia has for college, and the Bright Futures that Florida has are great for college too. Is cost an issue? Are job opportunities an issue? Weather? Culture? Quality of medical care?</p>
