[quote=Anonymous]I've read many DCUM comments about public high schools often offering more APs and other advanced classes than privates because they have the size to support them. So the challenge factor may change. If not, that can be made up at college. I went to a boring public long ago followed by Ivy League schools to get the challenge I wanted. The dilemma at private will be when other kids go to Aspen for Christmas, get a new BMW with their drivers license, play in the travel sports league, go on the school trip to Paris or Japan, etc. Lots of private kids get another $10-20-30K in support goodies on top of tuition. The kids who don't will notice and be noticed. If you have a very mature kid who understands and can cope with that, it's worth considering. But I'd talk to parents at my local public HS first about the possibilities. Kids are uninspired until they aren't.[/quote]
