[quote=Anonymous]I don't think very many parents in this area choose private schools because they believe their graduates have a stranglehold on competitive university admissions. We all have neighbors, colleagues and friends whose kids graduated from public high schools and went on to top colleges. Rather, most parents who choose private want their children to have a different kind of experience than the public schools can offer. For us, it was all about size; our MoCo public high school is great, but it's really big and we wanted our kids to experience a smaller school with a more favorable teacher:student ratio. Our kids have made great friends, both among their classmates and teachers; they love to learn; and the older two, who have graduated, were extremely well-prepared for college. They've actually thanked us for sending them to the school they attend/ed. I'm not saying that public school students don't have these outcomes; I'm sure that many do, but we feel like our money was well-spent, and we'd do it all over again. [/quote]
