You have options in the city. Make a lot of money? Private school is an option. I live in the Seattle area, according to Zillow Seattle schools are ok, nothing special but definitely better than Spokane or Walla Walla schools. And then there is Bellevue, mercer islands, north lake WA, and so on that are all 10s. Works well enough.

I can see it as a huge problem if one lives in Chicago, I guess. The Midwest isn’t a great place for that kind of thing.

Actually I think it's exact opposite - the midwest is great for k-12 education. Illinois is ranked #7 overall in k-12 education (washington sits at #19 for comparison). Most other midwest states are somewhere in the top 20 [1].
