growth, I doubt much has changed. The schools are pretty good. Boulder is largely populated by very well-educated people, many of whom are professionals, so they want really good schools. We lived in the Table Mesa area, which is on the south side of Boulder, and my son attended Table Mesa elementary for two years.
At the time, parents could actually choose which elementary school to send their kid to, at least in our part of Boulder. It had something to do with closing one of the schools and not forcing kids to attend a specific school. The down side of this was that some parents would send their kid to one school for a grade or two, then move to another school just to get or avoid particular teachers. It created certain problems, and rumor was that the parents really ran one of the elementary schools, and forced the resignation of the principal. It was a mess.
There are two high schools, and my kids would have gone to Fairview, which is newer and at least when I was there was considered more desirable.
The University of Colorado also had wonderful programs for kids, and I'd hope they still do. The two rec centers, one in south Boulder, the other a little north of the center of town, are both wonderful and have great programs.
They are lucky to be going there. It's really a great place. Plus, of all the places I have ever lived or visited, it is the only one that looks exactly like its postcards.
