"In its current issue, BusinessWeek magazine has ranked the best places to raise kids in each of the 50 states and the winner in North Carolina...is not in the Triad.
Chapel Hill gets the nod, with the magazine touting its affordability, healthy lifestyle, cultural opportunities and highly educated population. Cary and Jacksonville were named runners up.
Last year, Jacksonville was first, with Greenville named runner up. The magazine offered no explanation what had changed in any of the cities named during the past year to change their rankings."

"Chapel Hill is home to the University of North Carolina, part of the world-famous Research Triangle. It attracts residents who enjoy a healthy lifestyle, cultural and historic attractions, and an intellectual environment. The area is home to one of the most educated populations in the U.S., as reflected by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools' three high schools, four middle schools and 10 elementary schools. The district has the state's highest average SAT score. And more than 90% of students go on to college."
