[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is clearly moving to some podunk place, where there is a single “private” school, and that one is probably Catholic since it has uniforms. The “private” school may be a tiny bit better than public, but I wouldn’t expect much.[/quote]

Impressive how you managed to be offensive to so many people is such a brief post.

Hmm.. mmm. There's truth to it. You generally need a decent sized market to support a quintessential prep school. Catholic or Lutheran schools are much more common in smaller places. It doesn't make them inherently bad but it's a reflection of the religious mission of the schools and the schools will function more like a religious version of a public high school with a broader spectrum of students rather than something like GP or Visitation.

Then there are cities where there is one proper independent school and a bunch of Catholic/religious options. Like Dayton OH or Wichita, KS. But even they will have good public HS with good programs. I wouldn't be afraid of a good public school, especially in flyover small cities. [/quote]
