What town?[/quote]

Princeton [/quote]

That's where I grew up and attended public school.  Luckily, there are also good private options.[/quote]

What was your experience? No good?[/quote]

Fine.Support for athletics is non existent.  It won't match your private school experience academically.  The glorifcation of public school education in this thread is crazy.  In reality, it's bureaucratic. Detracking has been an issue --like most public school systems these days, there is buy-in on need for "equity." On the other hand, there are some insane tiger parents and a very stressful high school academic experience.  Student suicides have been an issue for decades, with the train tracks providing an unfortunate lure.  If you don't like it, plenty of private schools nearby.[/quote]

Any 3T 4T private in nyc will give a better experience than a suburban public. More engaged faculty, the curriculum meets your potential, fewer disciplinary issues and other distractions. Plus a killer network if yo don’t end up at a top college so it can fill that gap. The monotony of fighting for .00001 points on your gpa in eight APs is no way to spend your teen years. [/quote]
