Is a Private HS Really Better than Public?

i have gone to private school since kindergarten- i went to public in 3rd grade to find myself not challenged, thus i went back to private school. after 8th grade i applied to many private prep schools (a post a few ranks above me tiered many of the private schools. i dont agree with a LOAD of those schools. after attending the schools u KNOW where the smart, the snobby, the dumb with money, the party people all go, and many of those schools listed were no where near academically challenging enough)

i go to a prep school in massachusetts. i have friends who dont appreciate the one on one relationship with ur teachers- they are there to help. take advantage of it.

Academics are more challenging, however you can also find challenging courses at public school. it is taking advantage of what u are given. and making the best of it.

i dont think admission people will feel that u are “spoiled” by a private school education. i kno for one that my mom and dad just wanted to give me the best education they could, and they have managed to get into debt for it. however they dont regret their decisions at all, neither do i.

every schools is different. u will learn a lot about each school as u visit, if u want u can PM me about certain schools and their reputation academically athlletically and socially.

in the long run, private school is awesome if u take advantage of ur oppurtunities that u dont have at public.

public is awesome if u push everything harder than everyone else.
