There are also a lot of great private schools in the Philadelphia area. I attended one. I see a lot of neat programs they have in the younger grades, but I still think that the academics in the elementary years would not be challenging.
We looked at Quaker schools in our area, and though we felt they'd be better, in the end they would have been a major financial hardship for just moderately better.
I get what you say about different districts. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side of the bridge!
