[quote=Anonymous]Depends 100% on the kid. My brother and I went to a big 3 private worshiped on this board. I did well - top 20%, Ivy, etc. He was out of this world smart - literally perfect SAT without studying, at Georgetown for math by 10th grade, etc. I'd have been fine at public. He needed a little more attention. FWIW I don't think the expense is worth it, unless your publics are really awful. I think privates are somewhat better - especially in high school - and especially for students who need more attention (on low or high end of the spectrum). But there are very few families that wouldn't feel that level of financial expense (800k+ for 12 years, 2 kids), and the tradeoffs simply aren't worth it, IMO. Then there are the parent communities, which are insufferable, especially at the "top" privates. [/quote]
