[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a genuine question: why do people act like public school is for disadvantaged kids and minorities when the vast majority goes to public schools? Even Ivy League schools have a majority of public school students getting admission. So why are colleges doing this pandering.[/quote]

It's a weird DC/major city thing.  Everywhere else, kids are sent to private mainly when they are expelled from public.[/quote]

In my local school, 70% of students are below state achievement standards. And I won’t even get into the staffing issues, crime, budget cuts, and rampant school closures.

My kid’s private has almost all post doc teachers, 40% of students recognized for National Merit, innovative curriculum, and engaged.

Everyone is happy, and we are fortunate enough that we can afford the tuition.  I would not recommend it for all situations. And if you live in an unprogressive hillbilly town (seemingly like yours), it might make better sense to go public. [/quote]
