Every rating has WA as having the best school systems. I was a student that attended and graduated from Boston University. Tons of honors courses to choose from with all the teachers with Masters degrees. I along with all my friends enjoyed the school tremendously and if in a financial position to reside here I will.

Awesome school. Like any place, it is as good as it's teachers and there are a handful of teachers that would be good if your child avoided. Other than that, it is close to perfection. Close Quote
