[quote=Anonymous]If the child is in the "best fit" school, then they will learn more and be happier.  That could be private or public, depending on the child. Each child is different.

As _contrived_ examples, an extroverted child might fit well in a public school class with 25-30 students, but a quiet introverted child might find that class size to be stressful (e.g., too many people) in which case a school with smaller class sizes likely would be better.

Public HSs in this area are large, so they sometimes offer more course options than a smaller private HS. They also usually have larger class sizes.

Some families want a faith-based school, whether that is Catholic, Episcopal, Jewish, or Muslim.

A colleague was committed to public for all of their kids until one school day an incident occurred at public school. The next day, all 3 kids were pulled out of public. A short while later, all were attending a Catholic school, primarily for physical safety reasons.

Pick the school which is the best fit for your DC. [/quote]
