[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s always amusing to see how worked up public school parents get on these threads.  [/quote]

I was thinking just the opposite.  The insecurity dripping from the private school parents' posts is something to behold.  I guess they have to somehow rationalize throwing away thousands on private school.

OP, you're in an excellent school pyramid.  Langley has fantastic college acceptance results.  There's no way I'd pay for private in your situation.

What exactly are these fantastic Langley results?  Lots of adjectives and no actual receipts.[/quote]

They do well for a non-magnet public. Last year Harvard, Yale, Stanford x3, Northwestern x3, Duke, Brown, Rice, Dartmouth, Cornell, multiple Georgetown, tons of UVA, W&M, and VT. Probably not enough to impress the private school snobs but for kids who don’t need their hands held it can work. [/quote]

Also Penn, Columbia, Vanderbilt, Michigan, Berkeley[/quote]
