What’s the deal with public schools in Hyde park? Is it Boston school system? If so, does that mean your kids could end up getting bussed anywhere in the city? How does that work. Do you feel safe walking alone at night in your area?

Yes, I feel safe walking to/from buses and the commuter rail. A new brewery just opened nearby and I hope it will be popular and bring foot traffic near Sprague St/Readville.

BPS students in grades K-6 are not bused "anywhere in the city." There are local catchment zones. Grades 7-12 are citywide, yes, but I don't hear many parents of exam school students declining seats there because their teenager has to commute from Charlestown to BLA.

Overwhelmingly most K-6 students will attend a public school within 2 miles of their home.
