[quote=Anonymous]A parent here.  I went to a good local private here and back then it was instrumental in getting me into a top of the top college.  My son graduated from the same school about 10 years ago, and it was of far less help to him.  That’s the trend that has continued.  BUT I still find great value in my old school - whether it’s worth the high price tag is certainly debatable.  I live in a very nice/expensive neighborhood in a very good  Mont Co school district.  Most of my neighbors send their kids to the local public schools.  My personal belief is that my son got a better education than their’s did, that he is socially and educationally more advanced than their kids, and that he is expecting more of, and willing to work harder for, what he will achieve in life than most of his neighborhood peers.  I attribute that to his innate personal qualities, to his home environment, AND to his private school - what he learned there, his teachers, and the quality of his classmates.[/quote]
