[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's all about the families. kids whose parents go through the process of selecting a school will do better than kids whose parents dont pay any attention to school. regardless of the actual school a kid attends.[/quote]

I send my kid to Catholic and I think it's partly this.  A family that is investing a serious amount of money in their kid's education is showing their priorities.  There are a lot of other things I would love to do with that money.

I think the school also makes an effort to demonstrate the value to me as a parent.  Lots of homework, lots of teacher communication about my child's performance challenges.  If my kid could get the same amount of attention and input in public, that is where we would be.

School sent home a detailed plan of what tutoring they want her to get over the summer and a book and a packet with instructions for a presentation she will have to do for her new teacher in September.  Never saw that in public for a summer break!  Rising 5th grader.  [/quote]
