When buying or renting a home there are many factors that come into play when deciding what one will call officially home. For some people where they call home is where their home is located to work and play. Other individuals what matters is not the only location but also how the school systems are even if they don’t have children. Boston Magazine just released the 50 top public schools in Massachusetts and the top 10 towns that have earned the top spot for having the best education at the public level. What I found shocking are towns that typically make the list as the top ten some did not even crack the top tier like Brookline MA which always rivals Newton MA Schools. Here are the towns that made the list and neighborhood info about them.
