[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I imagine this will be more the case at less competitive and less expensive schools (parochial, for example).  [/quote]

Why?  They are getting bigger bang for the buck.  The more pricey schools are probably not worth it for many people with limited funds, especially if they are already in a "good" school district.[/quote]
It is the reverse. The pricey ones are a big difference from public, the less expensive not so much except for class size, and the teachers can be far less qualified at either compared to public. [/quote]

Exactly...the schools around $40K are dramatically different than a public school...the ones around $20K not so much[/quote]

Our $26K HS is drastically better than our public in ever way.[/quote]

Name the school. At that price point, the odds are that the better public schools out perform it in almost every way [/quote]

Nope.  My kids were in all the honors/intensified/GT/advanced pathways in APS and didn't have to do a damn thing to get all As.  And they were not challenged at all.  The courses and instructors and environment are so much better.  Most kids with all As and intensified don't even pass the course exemption tests for courses they received As and 600 SOLs.  We are incredibly pleased with the private HS.[/quote]
