here ya go Petie, this tool
let’s you look at national rankings of high schools. from US News and World report.

I live in a middle class Hartford suburb called southington. it’s a nice, very typical CT suburb. i pay all the usual CT taxes. the public high school is ranked 3,418th in the nation.

We looked at moving once, to Hollis NH. zero state income tax, zero state sales tax. Massive savings over CT. and the public high school
is ranked 1,119th in the nation. Much better.

I’m not saying every town in NH is great. What i’m saying, is that there are specific towns in red states ( and only in red states) that have a much better value proposition than comparable towns in blue states. there are beautiful places to live in CT. But they’re all insanely expensive., so they’re not all
a great value.

There’s no denying that.

what am i getting for all the taxes i pay in CT, that i wouldn’t get in a beautiful suburb in NH, TN, or NC?
