[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My HHI is 1.2 mil. We send our son to a public school.

We considered a few top notch private school in our area but didn’t feel like they are any better than his current public school( he is in 4 th grade).

But we may reconsider once he s going into high school. We ll see.

He is ranking in top 99 percentile in math and reading in Iowa testing. Once he s in 5 th grade he d be doing 6th grade math.

All the kids at our private rank like this compared to publics.  The private schools typically teach one level ahead in reading and math for their mainstream students.  Some kids are ahead of that and get differentiated learning tailored to their needs.  My kids thinks this is normal, learning is fun, and I like the peer group.  It's  very positive environment.  The publics around here don't even come close.  I hope your son doesn't lose the live of learning in middle school or lose social skills - I see these things are quite common in public middle schools.[/quote]

Interesting. Where we live, the families who leave for private school have middle of the road kids academically. The truly bright ones all stay in public. [/quote]

+1 Yup, that’s what I see in my neighborhood as well.[/quote]

Previous poster with 700k HHI that sends kids to public. It is so location dependant. In DC there is only one public HS in Top 10. TJ
