The best for Elementary Education are:
Michigan State
U Wisconsin Madison
Columbia Teachers College
U Georgia
Ohio State
UVA (Curry)
Vanderbilt (Peabody)
Note: Columbia is ranked 3rd on that list, but I think it has the best reputation and is the most well-known for its Masters program in Education.
One thing to consider, L, is the type of environment you want. Some schools of Ed are more leaning to the left or right than others. Ask about that when you explore schools. (I say, Go UMass!)
