[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not the curriculum. For us, it’s the individual attention—night and day from public. My kid is not an academic superstar, but has lots of other great qualities. To me, it’s worth the $ to surround him with teachers who can appreciate those and not just view him as “not a great student”. Smaller class sizes also mean the teachers have more time to work with each student, and it has made a noticeable difference in his achievement level. [/quote] This was our experience shifting from Yorktown HS to private. DC is a good student but wasn’t given any support at Yorktown, and school basically ignored us as parents. Our middle schooler is going through similar experience now, to trying to move him to private. [/quote]
