[quote=Anonymous]My two cents is I’d ask you which private. In terms of academics, you can have an experience at W&L IB which is going to be on par with Prep, STA/NCS, Sidwell, and GDS. From there, the only academic differentiator I see is in writing and critical thinking, due to the number of kids and feedback allowed in private. There are significant other intangibles that weigh on both sides—big school, more groups to choose from to find friends, small school, closer knit community, religious/not, ethics, college counseling, sports, etc. If kid is happy in APS and they have a good group of friends (who are likewise smart and motivated), it’s hard to justify the cost but definitely worth it for some families. Plus, in private, theyd be in school today!!![/quote]
