[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS was accepted to the Top 25 school of his dreams. He would not have been if he had gone to our top rated MOCO public schools. For me it was worth it. There is nothing I'd rather invest money in than my children. As for other other benefits? I think the social skills and polish are a real plus. Lessons? Be prepared for a commitment of time (in addition to $). - private school parents are VERY active in their schools. [/quote] Why do you think he would not have gotten in from a public school? Do you think it was something the private provided that public couldn't, that addressed his particular needs? I don't think it's necessarily the case that smart but not brilliant kids can't enter top colleges from public schools. My DC was one of 13 kids from a single MoCo public who has been accepted by a single top 5 school (ivy) so far this year.[/quote]
