If my kids were to go to PS the elementary school is about 10 miles away, middle school is about 15 miles away and the high school is about 12 miles away. It is one of the big reasons I decide to homeschool besides the fact that the middle/high school are located in a not so good part of town. I could not afford gas to drive them daily and I cannot put my 5yo on a bus for 2 hrs a day! There are some evenings that the has goes by our house at 5:30!
