Can you substantiate the claim that MA has the best public schools in the country? I consistently hear about the Chicago suburbs (Naperville, Evanston), Westchester (Scarsdale, Rye, Chappaqua), Long Island (Jericho, Great Neck), and Main Line PA (Tredyffrin, Lower Merion). I never hear about MA schools.

- treyfitty 6y agoI see. Looking at the methodology, they’re averaging out the state. This means that the average school district is better than any school district, on average. But I wouldn’t go as far as saying “MA has the best public schools in the country.” It seems like they are just uniformly above average, whereas NY and Illinois have terrible school districts, mixed in with legitimately the best school districts in the nations.
