[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, if you are coming from a private school neither will compare and you will feel the environment and education is slightly less than. It doesn't mean they aren't ok schools it just means your experience is likely not going to be as glowing as someone who knows nothing but that public school. [/quote]

I have a kid who went from 1-5 at Oakridge and I agree with this. Overall her experience was fantastic but I am sure her education at a good private school would have been better. But since she is really smart and intellectually curious, and did have some really great teachers at Oakridge who challenged her intellectually and were incredibly supportive with her mental health struggles,  I am positive the extra academic benefit she would have received at a private school wouldn’t have been worth 15-30K a year. Plus she loved going to school with her neighborhood friends and has built friendships that have lasted through middle school, which is nice.

(I’m not saying that private doesn’t offer great emotional support, just that she gets enough of that in public). [/quote]
