[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS has applied to four schools for 9th. He has excellent stats, sports, recommendations, etc. Everyone seems pretty confident he will get into most/all schools. The thing is that he fell in love with the most mediocre school of the bunch and would definitely choose that over others. Now, DH and I are now questioning whether it's worth it to go to a less prestigious private school vs. our excellent local public. Will the experience be that great? Will it help with college admissions (or hurt)? We were willing to shell out a lot of money for a prestigious school, but not sure if it's worth it for a lower tier. Thoughts? [/quote] Trust your kid for many reasons. 1. Happiness and feeling safe to be true self matters so much to academic performance. 2. Your DC will shine brighter and be higher ranked for college apps 3. Many of the less prestigious privates in our area have excellent teachers and programs.[/quote]
