[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A common complaint among private school parents I've spoken to is that the math programs are a weak link. I hear this from those (like me) who are STEM professionals. Almost everyone is very happy with their schools as a whole, but the math programs at private schools do not seem to be on par with the top math programs in public schools (VA and MD). I even heard that private school students use extensive outside tutoring because the math instruction is so weak. I don't want to mention names of the schools I've heard this about, but it includes most of those discussed most frequently here. I don't hear about a lot of private school kids heading to elite STEM schools such as MIT or Cal Tech, so I'm coming to the conclusion that private school isn't the best choice for a student interested in STEM.[/quote] No, it's not. Public STEM magnet is your answer if you have a kid at MIT/CalTech level. [/quote]
