What private do: Private schools educate to a narrower band of abilities and a smaller class size making it potentially easier to move through material while limiting certain types of disruption or needs that arise for disability or mental health needs. Because they are not held to yearly state standards and standardization testing, they can choose to cover just the basics and then pick and choose which topics to apply greater depth.

If not, it can be somewhat stifling and cause kids to miss opportunities to discover interest or challenge themselves in an area of interest. Also because the class sizes are smaller, it can limit the course selection each year, particularly electives, as students get to higher levels. To this end, their is a lot of tutoring and enrichment being funded by parents. Same is found in public by families of means. The difference being public school families are not paying tuition first.

Another difference is school day and where privates apply focus. Particular at the lower level the focus is less academic. Because of this kids have more fun, which makes parents feel good and feeds into the idea of youth being magical and all about play. This can however be quickly derailed as kids move through the levels and are forced to quickly catch up on academics and encounter academic intensity both in class and via homework.

Ultimately its a scale. You as a family decide which things are important/unimportant and if that balances in the end.

Nope. In our Catholic parochial, kids were working much harder than those in public. For one thing, my kid had homework in elementary school...homework that involved practicing multiplication tables, spelling, and grammar. None of that is happening in public schools. Public schools do not teach phonics, grammar, or spelling anymore. I think they expect parents to teach multiplication tables. I posted earlier that I had one go through W public schools and one through an inexpensive Catholic parochial. The difference was VAST. Worth every damn penny and I would pay more if they charged it.

There is no parochial school in this area that is superior to public. Parochial schools are low level privates and notoriously known for being low level.

Parochial have a reputation of being structured and rigorous and having a higher volume of work at the LS and MS school level than more progressive schools. They also take a much wider range of students, so the outcomes will be more varied than the more expensive independents.

There is no rigor at my son’s parochial. They also have a very limited range of students.

There are dozens of parochial schools in this area, it looks like you choose poorly

This!!! Our parochial is able to accommodate students who are on level for math all the way up to Algebra 2 in eighth grade. Reading is also divided into small groups based on ability. It really is the biggest bang for your buck and much better than our W public school.

+100 We saved so much money paying a quarter of what other privates charge. Now that my daughter has been accepted to a big 3 for HS, we have plenty of money left over to pay that tuition and her college. Really was the right approach for us!

Once again, you cannot compare all parochial schools with all public schools. The parochial where I went many moons ago is currently better than some publics and worse than others. And yes, I have experience at parochial, other privates and public so you can stow that criticism.

So may insecure parents here.

Total teacher autonomy. Go deep, do 6 week units, your favorite ones. Lots of group work. Reading to yourself. Video tape the instruction or lesson, then run Q&A during class time and see if anyone says anything. No worries about ERBs or MAp- just say you teach different things (way less), at a different pace (way slow).

Just say you don't teach to the test (fixed that for you!
