[quote=Anonymous]Private Catholic HS. (public K-8) Class size, terribly woke public MS (and I am a democrat), values/community service/giving back, RIGOR, rigor, more well-rounded core curriculum (really came out excellent writers!) with just as rigorous math/science (organic chem!). Peer group. Families were all invested in their kids being their and the kids were invested in being there too. Development of the 'whole' individual. Single sex education. My kids grew in so many ways and went into HS as blah writers and came out where my firstborn was getting rave reviews at a T10 on his first college papers. Very well-prepared. Got into multiple T10/20s unhooked and we didn't do anything extra (no tutors, private counselors, etc) and that wasn't even on our radar in 8th grade (not a reason for choosing private). We wanted a good, solid foundation w/ good values and outlook (giving back to others). No guns/knifes at school, no drugs/overdoses, no tolerance for bad behavior (our public HS in a wealthy area had a problem w. all of that).[/quote]
