[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If private school were an option for your family, would you consider it? Trying to understand the landscape of this area with good public and private schools. No trolls please, just looking to learn from your experiences/thoughts. Thanks[/quote]

Private school was an economic option for us. We are financially well-off.  We are Asian-Americans - first gen legal immigrant. We considered it because we had low ranked public schools.  However, we figured out that the quality of instruction is worse in private school, especially for STEM subjects.  So, we pretty much remained in our school pyramid, my kids went to magnets, and we also enriched and accelerated them at home.

So, my 2 cents is that if you are trying to go to private school to get a good education then forget it. The STEM sucks in private school.  However, if you want to use the private school because of other soft skills and enviornment of privilege, go for it.

As they say - YMMV.
