Reply to comment by mayaic in CT got 3rd best school system after NJ, MA coming in first. by IndicationOver

Thank you! I personally went to a school in the south that is well known for sports but not really education. I’m now in grad school at Yale and the difference in the way the entire university is run and the culture is very obvious. I’m not trying to be pretentious or anything, but my husband and I had to claw our way up from nothing and I’m hoping to provide all the resources that we can for our future kids.

Thank you again for your insight!

There are towns in CT with some of the best public schools in the country. And therefore there are private schools in the state that are way better than your average private school in other states. My relatives in the south send their kids to private school and field trips are to the creationist museum. The private school my child attends in CT has their own planetarium and research level telescopes. It's a completely different world.

I fully understand you and agree. I’ve moved out of the country now and I’ve started my son at the private school of our choice in their nursery at 9 months old. He will be there until he’s 18. My private school experience showed me that I wanted that for my son for the entirety of his education.

Good luck in your search.
