Most of my out of state clients ask me about the schools. Typically they'll ask "where are the best schools?" This is one of those "eye of the beholder" questions because 'best' usually requires a follow-up. It depends on what you're looking for. Every school has strengths and weaknesses. I'll send them to my website where clients may run in depth comparison of schools.
