There are parts of the USA seeking GREAT education. We may see that trend change.

I just installed some advanced manufacturing equipment into a HIGH SCHOOL level facility.

That building has awesome tech in it. They've spared no expense.

Let's put it this way. I am a skilled manufacturer. Could prototype a ton of stuff in there. They are missing very little, and as I pointed out to them in a discussion, the very first projects should be to simply manufacture the fill in pieces of equipment. The facility is weak in some basic areas that are not hard to manufacture. We discussed the idea of having the students maintain and add to the capabilities over time.

Likely to happen.

There are pockets like this all over the place.

What we are missing is general political will. That's changing as we realize we've missed out on a whole generation of people. Didn't do these things, and the impact is profound.

Where can I find a list of these pockets so I can begin to plan to relocate myself so I’m ready to have children in a few years? Or even communities dedicated to sharing this knowledge would be a good lead.

Bergen County NJ, Montgomery County, MD. Then somewhere there is TJ and I can't recall where that is. NYC has the specialized schools as well.

Some good bets:

1. Extremely expensive neighborhoods generally have good schools.

If you don't have tons of money:

2. A small towns with large a university.

3. Neighborhood schools where 90+% of students are in walking distance of the school rather than bussed in or driven in.

Where is this school? Sounds interesting.
