[quote=Anonymous]We do this for our two kids & perhaps it's the same private if everyone buses?  I wanted to love our top ranked public school and if I had looked at it in a vacuum, it would have been fine, but after comparing it to the private, I wanted the smaller classes, more resources and ability to work with different levels of learning, the incredible art & music resources, etc. I'm not sure how to articulate it without sounding completely snobby, but at our private, all of the teachers & staff are 100% committed & feel proud to be there. There's no grumbling about things or bureaucracy to deal with.

Also, even though we live far away from the school, there is a really nice community of neighborhood families who attend. Finally, because the screening process for new kids is rigorous, it's unlikely you'll end up with a child who will really distract the class & suck up all of the teacher's time. In a class of 24-26 kids, one child like that  could ruin the year for the others. [/quote]
