Finding the best school for your family is a painstaking and personal decision. Some kids want to take as many AP classes as possible, while others need extra attention and small classes, and still others are focused on marching band, robotics club or being a star quarterback. But one thing is for certain: You want to make sure that your children’s school gets them ready for college.
