[quote=Anonymous]It is not so much about price as it about fit. If child is thriving and is a good fit for one’s public, and parents are comfortable with academics at public, then stay public. Private works best for kids who need smaller class sizes, or if local public schools are physically unsafe, or if local publics are not offering suitably rigorous academics. Right now, college admissions is mostly a lottery. Some students will have better acceptance offers from a strong public (e.g., W schools) or other students might have better offers as the strongest student in a weak public school, while others might have better odds from a private which is a very good fit for that student and helps that student perform better overall. Going private for better college acceptances often does not work out the way parents wish.[/quote]
