[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two children, very good students, and have enough to have them do private HS or private college, but not both. Please, not a discussion of why we should do neither. TIA [/quote]

It would entirely depend on how good the public HS's were.  Most states have public universities that you can get a good education at, but being able to pay for a private college would open options.  If the local HS's are terrible, I'd probably opt for private HS, otherwise save the money for college.  [/quote]

Agree with this PP.  I went to a top public high school and attended private college.  We are planning to move to that town when my kids get older (3rd grade or so) so that we can use the money to go towards college rather than private school.  If we stayed where we are now, we'd have to send them to a private school as the public schools aren't very good.

I also think the right college is more important than the right high school.  So, it would also depend on what the state schools are like in your state.  Where I grew up, they were nothing to write home about and in my town were often treated with a community college mentality.  Go there for one or two years to improve grades and then switch to a better school.  I would hate to spend all my money on a private high school and just prey that my kids would get a full ride or something at a better school than the state college.  [/quote]
