[quote=Anonymous]Just our experience, OP - We have five kids. One is highly gifted. We have moved around a lot and my kids have been in both public and private. They all graduated from public high schools. I feel like my gifted kid had more opportunity in her good public, especially in higher grade levels. Just being honest. I liked private school for a lot of reasons, but I felt like the public schools offered more in terms of academic options and extracurricular, especially music and arts. She graduated with a 4.45 GPA, is a National Merit Scholar, super high SATs, etc. She was accepted into two Ivys and went to college on a full academic scholarship. My other children did fine as well. They are just your typical bright, motivated kids. Nit gifted, but smart. They probably benefited more from private school than did my brilliant kid. [/quote]
