Boston, Massachusetts was the first to pass a law effecting public education in the colonies. The Massachusetts General Court made it a law that all towns needed a grammar school and to fine parents not sending their children to school. In 1635 the first public school was founded, Boston Latin School. Boston began the very first public high school in 1821, and then in 1918, every state required students to complete elementary school.
