[quote=Anonymous][quote=1SWMom]IMO Prestigious private school are almost always better academically and for college admittance, the trade off/dangers are economic and racial disparity, but that's life.[/quote] Respectfully I disagree. If your kid wants Ivy, let’s use Harvard as an example, and there are 3 solid Harvard legacy kids at that private school - then your kid basically has no chance. If your kid went to public and was at the top of the class, chances are there would be no Harvard legacy kids, so your kid’s chance is better. Now, if you want to look at it wholistically - does my kid have a better chance of getting into any college - then yes, you are correct, more kids go to college from private school. You need to think about it for a SPECIFIC kid, not just an average kid, because an average kid doesn’t really exist, and if they did average kid doesn’t go to Harvard.[/quote]
