[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is confirmation to me that private schools are the way to go. We live in a W school district but chose private for both of our kids. The outcomes were extremely good and probably would have been very different had our kids attended public school. Both kids attended strong Catholic high schools that had students at diverse academic levels. Both kids were stand outs in their schools and were admitted to top 20 schools. It is better to have less competition by the numbers in a school that is well respected by college admissions officers vs. being one of many in a sea of strong academic achievers.

No you wasted tons of money and subpar education

My kids went to Wootton  then to  MIT, Standford, Yale,  &  CMU. Not bad for a "public" and not being indoctrinated.

Nah, money wasn't an issue for us, but thanks for your concern. Congrats to your kids.  Most won't have the same outcomes as illustrated by this thread.[/quote]
? most catholic school kids also don't have that same outcome.

Most people in general don't have that same outcome. My kids didn't apply to ivies, but got into some really great top 20 schools and I am confident the outcome would have been very different at our W school because of the competition. My kids are smart, but didn't need to take 10-12 APs to get into good schools. My oldest only took 6 APS in his four years in HS and went to a top 20.[/quote]
