It may take a village to raise a child but it takes the entire family to send a child to college. I'm sure situations like this are not uncommon across the USA:
Grandparents help save for college
US News & World Reports released it "famous" list of top schools around the country. The value of this list is declining and I believe in time it will have no value at all.

Instead of looking at the list. Contact companies in the area. In the Pacific Northwest The University of Washington gets a very high rating for it's business school, but guess where Ernst & Young and other firms go first when recruiting: Gonzaga and Santa Clara University. I think this is a perfect example of these ranking systems being so wrong. If you know what you want to do after college then ask those companies or grad schools which colleges and universities they think are best.
