Good school system (Boston, Newton, Brookline: rent, how much, neighborhood)

[sue0]

We are moving to Boston with a 5 year old and a 3 year old. Looking for good school system. Any recommendations?

Can you give us specifics, i.e. how much you want to spend on rent or on a home, type of neighborhood, etc?

Boston itself isn't so great (with a few notable exceptions), but the metro area is known for having many good public school districts. As Camer wrote, it's easier to narrow it down if you can provide information on your situation and what you're looking for.

Like the same as many other major cities,boston itself doesn't have good public school system.Looking into
the suburbs,such asWinchester,Lexington,Acton,Sudbury,Dover,Wellsle y,weston,wayland,Newton,Brookline
Needham,etc.They have very good public schools.Compare with the spending,The renting is a little bit more expensive,but doesn't make big difference.

I second Jupiter's recommendations of schools. We live in Sherborn and parents often rave about the elementary school.

Here's more data about many of these:
