<p>The towns you mention have very good public schools. You have tons of options if you are west of Boston. Any of the “W” towns–Weston, Wayland, Wellesely also have excellent public schools. Naturally, homes in these towns are above average in price. Also take a look at Brookline.</p>
<p>You also have plenty of private school options, day and boarding. Depends on the age of your kids. If you are considering boarding HS and are willing to let your kids go a little further (say w/in an hour drive of home) your options greatly expand.</p>
<p>Feel free to PM me and I can give you more details. We live north of Boston, but am very familiar with the towns west (used to live in Brookline and Newton). We also looked at many of the area boarding schools, including Milton.</p>
