[quote=Anonymous]It depends on what private schools are nearby you and whether you like them for your kid. I was very anti-private initially, because I had attended a pretty crappy private myself. I moved my kid from public to a small K-8 near our house and it has been so good for her. But, we'll probably send her to public HS because I don't like any of the HS options near our house and I don't want her commuting 30+ minutes to school. If public schools would offer what our private school does, we'd be in public: there is no prestige factor to our school, and I like our neighbors' kids. But my bright non-needy kid was getting overlooked in big classrooms with kids who needed more, and I was disappointed in the poor art and music offerings, zero field trips, limited foreign language, limited recess situation, etc. I have friends who are happy enough in public, or who are getting support for their SN kids that wouldn't be available in private, so it depends.
