Three other towns/school systems to consider that are equally as strong academically as Lincoln/Sudbury, Concord/Carlisle, Wellesley, and Dover/Sherborn: Acton, Boxboro, and Harvard. Home prices, while not cheap, are slightly lower than Concord or Lincoln. These towns are farther from Boston, so the commute time to the city is longer. All of them are on the Route 2 corridor west of Lincoln and Concord.

There’s more ethnic diversity in the Acton/Boxboro school system than say Concord or Lincoln, which some see as a plus. Harvard is a small town (population 5800) so it offers much smaller classes. A typical graduating class in Harvard is in the neighborhood of 90-120 students.
