[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The FB pages for parents my kids' colleges are full of parents bemoaning how underprepared their public school kids are compared with the private school kids. My kids went to public school in the DC burbs and are fine, but I wouldn't assume that's true of all public school graduates. A HS in a college town, though? Probably better prepared that a lot of private school graduates. Private doesn't always mean good.[/quote] There is no general assumption to be made about public vs private HS that would be valuable regarding preparation for college. The important nothing is to look at the quality if the individual HS be it public or private. Is it rigorous? Does it have a track record of prepping student for too colleges? Does it invest enough resources per student? Etc. These qualities are more important than public vs private. There are great schools and poor quality schools in both categories. [/quote]
