You bring up a great point, but at the same time we feel like we need to "get away" from it all. We are tired of all the traffic and congestion that goes along with living in an area with the highest population density in the country. The level of education may be slightly lower across the border in NY, but much of the overall factor comes down to the actual intelligence of the child. It's not like we're moving to a rural area in the middle of Arkansas or something like that.
