[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have kids in middle school and are beginning to explore private high school options. Is it really true that kids from private schools do worse in college acceptances than similar kids from public school? We are in a county that has subpar schools and do not see many great matriculations from our high school. I can't imagine doing worse.[/quote] There’s anecdotal evidence, but the truth is that it is extremely difficult to compare the two groups. Percentage wise, a much larger percentage of independent school students go to selective colleges, but of course, the populations aren’t equivalent. Your kid will be fine and will go to college. Do what you need to do to get him or her the best education now. That’s what you can control. [/quote]
