I drive about 25 minutes to get my kids to the private school they attend. They used to go to the local public school which is 6 houses away, but they just weren't up to the task.

For us, it is totally worth me driving for just under 2 hours per day for the kids to go to that school. It's p-12, small, good values, good academics. Blimmin expensive (about $100 per child per week), but totally worth it.

Go with your gut.
