I'll try to give you a little input. I am a New Yorker, lived in Paris as well as several other European cities, and I now live in Cincinnati. It wouldn't be my choice, but it's where my husband's job took us. One of the best high schools here is Walnut Hills HS, large, urban, requires an entrance exam, varied course offerings, gets kids into the Ivies, with a building modeled on Monticello (I am not making that up). You would definitely want to live in Hyde Park or Clifton (sidewalks, good mix of house styles, income levels, trees, stores, in some parts very charming; some houses Arts and Crafts, others 100 years old, etc.). BTW, I haven't flown out of CVG in well over a year; the highest fares in the country are out of that airport. I drive to DAY or CMH. It's a real pain, but those airports are tiny, with short security lines, easy parking, and you can save hundreds of dollars -- if not more -- per person per flight.
