MomfromMA answered your question in much the same way that I would have. I realize you don't know exactly which city you will live in, but once you have an idea, you might want to use the "Research and Compare" tool on the green menu bar near the top of this page. You can enter the city name, and the level of school you are interested in to look and see how public schools are rated...(Your 14-year-old will probably be entering high school, whereas your 12-year-old will be in "middle school" and your 10-year-old in "elementary school.") Unfortunately, if you are considering a private school (where you pay tuition) this Greatschools site doesn't provide the same kinds of ratings, because they are derived from state test scores, and private school children don't take the same tests...

The school district where you will live in will be able to tell you the exact paperwork you will need, but typically, you will need a proof of residence in the district (if they are going to a public school), their previous school records, a birth certificate, and vaccination certificate as well as a health 's certificate that they are fit to go to school.
