What Is the Most Kid-Friendly City in the U.S.?​

Irvine, California, ranks as the best U.S. city for children according to our index. While many cities across the country are great places to raise kids, Irvine scored the highest based on the kid-friendly qualities we measured. The schools in Irvine are highly rated, earning an overall A+ and top marks in public education. The city also has an A+ rating for being “Good for Families” and ranks 4thfor “Best Cities to Raise a Family in America” on this popular neighborhood rating website.

These A+ grades granted Irvine a 30-point bonus apiece, helping to offset the penalties it faced due to higher costs of living and more expensive childcare. Although Irvine can be pricey, the high median income helps balance these costs. Additionally, Irvine excelled in metrics related to family fun, health and safety, and park quality, solidifying its reputation as one of the best cities for families, albeit for those who can manage the expenses.
 
Irvine is more expensive to move in and to live in. Kid’s summer classes are $$$. I think the 3 hour M-F 2 week summer arts and crafts classes are >$500.

In comparison, 6 week summer camp at city of Artesia is free. Includes biweekly outings to the zoo, aquarium, etc. You don’t have to live in the city to send your kids. But the summer camp is mostly arts crafts sports and games, not much academics.
