[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only people on here who say private k-8 and public 9-12 are talking about relatively inexpensive Catholic parish schools. No one in their right mind would spend $35K from k-8 and then not spend it from 9-12 when it really matters.[/quote]

You're wrong. Are you actually enrolled at an independent K-8?

If a child learns study skills, self-advocacy, and the three Rs in private, the child can excel in public and as others said, have a better chance at competitive college admissions than the same profile child coming from an elite private.  It all depends on the chlid. Unfortunately my kid still needs the added attention of a private, so he'll continue on to private, but I sure wish I could send him to a magnet or our local HS. Don't forget a lot of the kids getting acceptances at privates are strong students who would have excelled in public HS too, and they have a stronger change of having legacy status, or having high enough SES that they can afford to apply ED or EA with no worries about FA.
