[quote=Anonymous]PP here, I wanted to add that many of the private lower schools have lots of parent angst.  Rare is the private lower school that most parent would agree is doing a great job. Half of the time I am reading how a new lower school head was just named.  So it was harder to make a 20-30K per year commitment in a school that wasn't universally loved as being great when we were deciding between giving public school a try or going to private school.

Maybe it gets back to what another person said that no school is perfect.  I think you have to find the school that gets the closest to perfect for your kid and your family and unfortunately that is hard to know without having a track record of what works and what doesn't work and maybe some trial and error.  Some of the varying opinions can be because what works for one kid or family may not work for another.  To give an example, with swim we had a teacher that did an amazing job with our child.  My child can be very unfocused but the drill sergeant, "I am not even entertaining the idea that you can't do this attitude" worked miracles with our child.  I mentioned how great the swim teacher was and another parent said how the teacher was awful and their child hated going to that teacher.  Same person, different results and opinions, different children.[/quote]
