Everyone knows private schools are better: better academics, better extracurrics and much better connections. At Princeton, where 34% kids are from private schools, 70% Rhodes, Marshall Scholars and Phi Beta Kappas are from private schools. At NIche.com something like 44/50 top schools in Calif are from private schools, same in NYC, DC, NJ, Conn and Massachusetts etc. Not to mention top catholic schools, international schools where kids graduate perfectly trilingual (most public school kids can barely read one foreign language) and I don't understand why all these haters are out there. Send your kids wherever the f--- you want, if local public school is the only option then it is the only option. Being well educated isn't the end all to everything or the only magic key to success in life. As for college placements schools like Andover and Dalton etc place like 40%-50% of each class at ivies, little ivies and seven sisters, U of C and Georgetown--and almost their entire classes a successt top 30-40 schools, so you can't argue with that-I was on scholarship at Collegiate in NYC and it is a fiction that only rich kids go to private school: about 1/3 to 1/2 each class is from Prep for Prep or receives financial aid..
