Maybe those high taxes pay off after-all.

Yeah, like 5 measurements - none of which I guarantee are adjusted on a national basis.

I guarantee a 10 on a GreatSchools rating in Nevada is equivalent to a 3 in Connecticut.

Anyone notice that they mention that the high school in Allen, Texas has 5,000 students. It sounds like that is one school which is unbelieveably big. How can you control that many kids under one roof. I doubt I would ever send my kids to a school that large and wonder how good a school it really is. Jay

I agree. I went to New Britain High School which had about 3,100 students and sometimes it was a zoo. Pretty cool W. Hartford was ranked #10.

Looks like another ranking that over-weights affordability. People, there is a reason it's cheap to live in Nevada and Texas.
