[quote=Anonymous]Another poster joining in skeptical that privates are stronger academically. In a good school district area, the smarter and average kids are more likely to stick with public, so the kids in private are not necessarily there for the academics. They're there for the lifestyle, for the faith sometime, or because they weren't doing well in public. It's so important to really take a hard look at the data here so you don't end up disappointed. Think about what "better" actually means to you-- is it peer behavior? Curriculum? Teaching philosophy? Advanced coursework? Advanced peers? At small privates, social relationship issues can be so tough and it can be hard to make friends when everyone already knows each other. Proceed with caution.[/quote]
