[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]K-8. I felt those were the most formative years where's all class size truly matters (early k-2 grades).

The magnitude of funding for public high schools provides so many more diverse opportunities, as well.  So I think my child would get a better education at a public.

However, if he somehow needs to stay private, for social reasons, etc. we could do a Catholic high school like Good Counsel.  [/quote]

+1.  In terms of classes that are offered, our local high school has more opportunities.  I like the k-8 model at a small school.  I feel during that rough adolescence age having the teachers know what you are capable of accomplishing and giving the push and encouragement, having the younger kids that look up to you and the older kids that you look up to being willing to spend time with you etc all help during a time when you are trying to figure out who you are and navigating peer relationships.

When you talk about invest, I don't see it as getting my child into a certain college.  I see it about teaching the skills my child needs to be an independent, self-supporting, well-adjusted adult.  It's more than just the academics.  I also think there are kids that get both the academics and social-emotional met at public school K-12 and there are some that along the way do better elsewhere.[/quote]
