[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends.  If foreign language or religion was very important, then private.  Also private if my kid was average academically.  [/quote]

My kids, one gifted, one pretty average are in private with lots of financial aid.  My gifted kid could go anywhere.  The small class sizes, accessible teachers, and focus on writing have been fantastic for my average kid.  [/quote]

I honestly don’t get this. My sister and I both tested into gifted programs. We still benefited greatly from small class sizes and particular academic programs. [/quote]

DP.  Gifted students can typically thrive anywhere, though that’s not to say there aren’t advantages to particular situation.  I was in public school gifted education and ended up very academic and did a humanities PhD.  With my current perspective I can appreciate that private high school could have been an amazing experience for me, had it been in the cards.  It wasn’t in the cards and it was fine.[/quote]
