>So, the options that remain are parochial schools ($4-5k per year, if I'm not mistaken) or private schools (which start at $7-8k here in LA and go to $14k on the high end.)

Massachusetts has no shortage of good private schools, but they cost almost the same as private colleges.

What some parents in Boston do is to send their kids to private schools in the early years and then try to qualify for one of the public exam schools later on.

Overall, public education in big cities is such a shame. Boston outspends lots of suburbs on education, yet the quality remains far below the competitions.

Paul,

I am one of those guys living out where the schools are good and you get a 2 1/2 hour commute to a decent job. Although I am not working at the moment I must say that I will take the commute any day as long as my kids get to go to the kind of quality public school I had back in the seventies and eighties.
