[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can afford private and am open to it but have chosen to keep my kids in W cluster public. I love our neighborhood and my kids have tons of friends who share their school experience, activities, sports. It would be hard to take them away from that. Each kid has found programs in public that support their interests--arts, sports, stem. [b]My impression of many local privates over the years is that they have been havens for kids who needed more support than public can give, whether for social, emotional, or behavioral reasons, or post covid learning loss or smaller class sizes generally.[/b] I'm all for those resources if a kid needs but it has made private generally seem less desirable. I'm also concerned that most privates would be too small and stifling for my kids.[/quote]

Ah, the go to when ‘W’ parents can’t afford a highly ranked private. “All of those private school kids have issues!”  😆
Whatever helps you sleep at night while people much wealthier then you make sure their kids are getting an excellent education.   [/quote]

Regardless of what anyone can afford, the smaller class sizes and individual attention provide more support for kids who need it and would get lost in a big competitive public. There are also kids who thrive in the public environment because of the wide range of options and peer groups. [/quote]

Smaller class sizes works well for smart kids who like to dive deep too.  Actually, the studies show it works well for all types of students.

I suppose the exception would be students with parents who did not value this type of optimization.  It works well for the student, but not the parent and happy parent is better for child development.  [/quote]
