Madison, WI - Ranked #2 of the "Top 20 Places To Educate Your Child"

Quality education plays an important role for families looking to relocate to a new area. With that said, Forbes.com just recently released a brief photo report of the “Top 20 Places to Educate Your Child,” with Madison, Wisconsin landing the No. 2 spot! Home to the University of Wisconsin, this prestigious honor has been noted before by Money magazine, ranking Madison not just as the best place to live in America, but also the best place for education out of 300 of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. According to Forbes.com, Madison received two A pluses in both public school support and library popularity, two A’s in college town and college options, and one B plus on its report card for private school options. With 228 public schools, 42 private schools, just over 78,000 public school students and more than 42,000 college students, there’s no questioning Madison’s nationally recognized education system. You can bet that Madison’s scholars are receiving nothing short of top quality education.
