I entirely agree, OP.

Having gone through the college admissions process last year, and seen kids in public and private apply and get in, I see that outcomes are the same.

And if you want private for another reason, well, it better be a really, really, good one. I kept my ADHD/ASD kid in public and he was well-served with an IEP and its associated services and accommodations. I have another kid who is gifted, and we requested all sorts of advanced tracks for her. This wasn't easy to navigate, but it was cheaper than private, and it means we still have enough for our personal lives, expensive tutoring, extra-curriculars, and college. My friends' kids in private are still spending that much outside of their schools, because it's not like private school kids don't need tutors and ECs! For all kids, the demands of getting them where they should be are always going to be on the parents, not the school.

So for most people, I don't think private is worth it if you can't write the check without blinking.
