I hate to disagree, but as a teacher I actually don't think Malden has a great school system. I mean it's certainly better than Boston, but I've worked at several schools there (and one of my co-workers used to teach there) and I was less than impressed. Then again, parents might be looking at something different than I am looking at as a teacher. It's also hard to compare schools like Malden, to schools like Lincoln-Sudbury and Concord-Carlisle. Obviously, there's no comparision, so maybe they mean that you get a decent school that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
I agree with you that being brought up in the middle of nowhere is not the best option. However, it's often tough to reconcile living in a cosmopolitan area with getting a good school system. I think this is why, sadly, so many urban families (of all races) end up sending their kids to private schools.
