I see a few people recommending the Upper Valley and I would like to jump on that band wagon. I do think you should know how school choice works in Vermont, especially the Upper Valley. If you live in a town that doesn’t have a designated public school you have school choice and your town of residence pays the tuition for the school you choose. Even independent schools like The Sharon Academy. Worth keeping in mind as you make your housing decision. Killington is a school choice town, as is Stockbridge and Rochester (for grades 7-12).

Edit: Killington no longer has choice. Their students attend Woodstock schools
