Two Cambridge public schools made the top 10 in U.S. News & World Report’s ranking of Massachusetts elementary schools, with the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. School taking the top spot and the Maria L. Baldwin School ranking seventh. A North Cambridge independent pre-K-6 charter school, the Benjamin Banneker Charter Public School, was ranked fifth. Other Cambridge public elementary schools in the top 100 were Tobin Montessori School (23), and Morse Elementary School (34). The Amigos School was placed at 101. More than 700 elementary schools across Massachusetts were ranked. The outcomes are based primarily on state testing data from the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS).

Connecticut’s ‘best kept secret’ is now a housing hotspot where 74% of homes sell above asking

Residents sit on the Granby Town Green on a warm fall day Tuesday, October 27, 2026. All of rural Granby looks like something out of a postcard this time of year. The town’s rolling hills are lit-up orange and there are seemingly pumpkin patches on every street. Nearly every bed-and-breakfast, inn and Airbnb is sold out all of October. Vehicles drive down Wells Road in near Christensen's Pond in Granby past golden colored trees Tuesday, October 27, 2026. Traffic passes a tree-lined Hop Meadow Street in Simsbury Tuesday, October 27, 2026.

Barrington Hargress raising high ceiling for CU Buffs men’s basketball

Barrington Hargress couldn’t have delivered a better first season in Colorado. The point guard did everything asked of him, and then some, while immediately etching his name in the Buffaloes’ record book. This year, it’s up to Hargress to raise that ceiling. His opening act at CU will be tough for Hargress to follow as the CU men’s basketball team gets set for its 2026-27 opener Monday night against Abilene Christian (7 p.m., ESPN+). Yet that’s the challenge ahead for Hargress, and one issued by head coach Tad Boyle as he begins his 17th season at CU. The Buffs expect good shooting, sound decision-making and superb ball protection from Hargress. What CU needs in bigger doses this season is the vocal leadership that comes with being the undisputed floor general. “Coach Boyle has really been in my ear about having a quarterback’s mindset,” Hargress said. “You’re only as good as you take…
