[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably not, unless there was a specific reason the individual kid needed a different environment. It's more of a philosophical decision than a monetary one. I just don't think it's worth it in most situations. [/quote]
That’s how we feel too. When we got to this financial stage though, I did ask each of the kids (all doing well in  and mostly enjoying public) if they had any interest, and it was an emphatic “no” for all three. While they like many of the kids they know from private school, their impression was that most of the private school kids were even more entitled than the most entitled of the kids in our public in a wealthy area. The two now in college were extremely well prepared, so I’m not sure what the benefit would have been for our particular kids.

Of course I understand why private is desirable for many families or better for kids who have a need, but I think you miss out on a lot when you don’t have the opportunity to navigate a larger, less curated world in HS. [/quote]
