[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP - economic factors are huge.  I have had kids go through both public and private. I had one kid go from the MOCO Highly Gifted Program/Magnet MS to a Big 3 private. And I hate to tell all my fellow private school parents, but the top public school kids in the magnet programs can academically and intellectually blow the socks off of 90% of the private school kids even in the Big 3 (lets not even talk about the "lifers" who got in in Kindergarten but would certainly not make the cut in 9th).

The very top public school kids are not in private because of economic factors.  In my kid's public school magnet classes there were kids with Mensa level IQ's whose parents could NEVER afford private.

So, to bring it back to the point of the post, if you are comparing top kids at privates who don't have 4.0 or the so-called grade inflation of the publics, I think the truth is in the test scores.   Also the colleges know there is a difference in the way the privates vs publics grade.[/quote]
