[quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why so many people in this area waste money on fancy new cars, expensive houses and beach homes (sorry, just being facetious)  … We drive second hand cars and own a modest home in a good school district as we choose to spend our finite money on education and travel. This is obviously because we value education and travel.

We have done both public and private and the quality privates in this area, and in our experience, are preparing their students for college better. Teachers know the students better, and the advisory small group daily check in system allows all students to have close access to adult mentors. They have much more vibrant visual and performing arts programs and all students can participate in competitive athletics if they wish. School admin and teachers communicate quickly and without anywhere near as much bureaucracy.

That said, we like living in an area with relatively high quality public schools because public and private schools compete with each other and that provides better outcomes for all. [/quote]
