I can't truly speak for the whole country, but Connecticut schools seem to be a class above most anywhere else. Every time I've considered moving somewhere cheaper, the school system research is completely depressing. I know parents who tried to move to Florida and found the schools to be 2 years behind CT grade-level-wise (so their 4th grader is learning stuff they learned in 2nd grade in CT). They actually simply moved back, it was that bad. Keep in mind that CT is a bit of a sinking ship, with companies and jobs leaving, and the population often following it. It's not some place that everyone is flocking to, but it has a long history of being at the forefront of things like education and mental health. I've also heard, from numerous people, that having a few years experience as a teacher here in CT will make getting a job teaching in most other places completely trivial.
