Re: Thinking about moving to Colorado!
I love the state. I moved out here in '99 from upstate NY. I miss it, but Colorado is beautiful, a dream to outdoor/nature lovers. Also has lots of culture. Denver, Boulder, Ft Collins, and Colorado Springs have a lot to offer. But cost of living is high, especially compared to the wages. I think that is the only thing I don't like about this place.
As for public schools, it depends on the area. Denver, I would not put my kids in most of those schools. I think Boulder and Ft Collins have good schools. Some of Colo Spgs are decent, you have to check them out. Cherry Creek school district in Aurora is good (though the rest in Aurora aren't). And Douglas County schools are great. We live in Parker and my daughter is in a Douglas county school. Very impressed with them. It is a little more expensive to live, but worth it to us because of our kids. If you have any other questions, please ask. Oh, don't know anything about Catholic schools though, sorry.
BTW... I work with someone from New Orleans...I adore her!! Just had to put that in there.
