[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Study skills, peer groups, quotas, legacies -- those are all common denominators in any school setting But how is it that everyone in this private/public exmissions debate seems to be forgetting the overwhelmingly superior SAT aggregates coming out of the top privates? Doesn't that give you a big leg up? Stop kidding yourself that a top public education is anywhere comparable to a top private school education in this area.[/quote] A private school may have higher average SAT scores than a public high school. But the public high school would contain many different types of kids taking very different classes. (college prep, honors, AP, etc.) The top track so to speak very likely has as high or even higher SAT average test scores compared with area private high schools. You need to compare like populations.[/quote]
