[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public or private doesn't matter.

You don't want a super high performing school with a high proportion of strivers.

[b]You want a regular, decent school with a normal amount of opportunities/activities and fairly good teachers and lots of APs offered.[/quote][/b]

I agree. Know your kids well and where they will thrive. I stressed over this when my kids were in middle school, and due to a big move, they didn't get into any of the private schools in the area. The local public ended up being an amazing fit with balanced kids and curriculum. The social and emotional aspect is huge in high school as the kids need to be physically and mentally strong all four years. Our oldest was just accepted SCEA to his top choice so of course I am very pleased with his public education. We have many friends in the private schools, and some regret the move. But the private schools do have great Top 10/Ivy matriculation, but not so much in our circle of friends in private schools (all unhooked). [/quote]
