[quote=Anonymous]As most posters say, there is no one right answer to this question.  It's a balancing act when it comes to cost, your financial means, the quality of the public schools, the quality of the private schools you are considering, the impact on your daily life, and dozens of other factors.

I will briefly tell you our story - both spouses are products of public schools, all grandparents were public school teachers.  Moved to the suburbs from DC because of the public schools, and were happy for years.  in HS, kid 1 started having difficulties - social and emotional issues that impacted academic performance.  Moved to a small independent school during HS, and it has been a remarkable turnaround.  It was the best thing we could have done.  But that is obviously very specific to our kid.

One other thing - I am a firm believer that all kids would benefit from smaller class sizes - at a minimum, they would not suffer any adverse effects.  But, for some kids smaller classes make a world of difference - ours was one such kid.  It's worth thinking about where you think your kids fall, although it may change throughout their academic career.  [/quote]
