[quote=Anonymous]Before committing to the private, check out the curriculum, college exmissions, and talk to parents of recent grads. We are not a wealthy family but chose private hs bc of the education. My kid just graduated and received an excellent education, and equally important to us, they are also academically and socially confident. They worked really hard and know they are well prepared. That said, our hs is very well regarded and kids/parents definitely shoot for top schools. Yes, pressure and expectation is high among high performing kids and connected families. But there is also a smaller subset that cares about value or just fit (vs prestige). Our private did provide support to help families understand financial aid and merit- but I imagine many privates do not. If you want merit, do your homework early to identify schools,  and make sure your kid is well positioned. My kid got several strong merit offers from schools on their "target" list. (The reach schools were pretty much full pay. )[/quote]
