Best Boston Suburbs Schools
Let’s take a look at the top 10 Public High Schools in the Boston Metro Market according to Boston Magazine. Why do we look at the Boston Magazine’s rankings? It’s because they offer statistical analysis… And I am a guy that is all about the stats.
Speaking of the stats, keep in mind that Massachusetts literally has the best school system in the country. So a school ranked 30 in Massachusetts is a darn good school compared to other states. Think of this list as almost the best of the best… of the best list.

Interest Rates Are Going Up?
When it comes to interest rates… We have had it pretty good recently… I know what you are thinking, is this guy crazy?
But interest rate stability is a great thing and to me means that we have had it pretty good! I mean look at that graph! We peaked out in the third week of October last year… But since then there have been some ups and downs… It’s pretty level.
Yes… Don’t get me wrong, when you look at rates from a 5 year period… The current interest rate environment sucks… But what if I told you that the tea leaves are showing that interest rates are going up this Fall? With one of the top lenders in the country projecting an interest rate environment in the 8% range!

So what tea leaves are we talking about… Well we don’t have to go far to look at some recent news that puts the Federal Reserve in a real tough position.
It all starts… and kind of ends with the economy and its strength. People thought the economy was starting to slow signs of slowing down which meant that inflation would subside and the FED could take a continued breather… or even consider cutting rates.

You may be surprised to know that the Shipyard used to be…well a Shipyard!
