What are the benifits of a privat high schoool vs. a public high school?
Depends on what public school and what private school. Many private schools are worse than publics and many publics are worse than privates. I go to a Magnet Public HS(means you take a test and they will decide who they accept based on grades and test scores). My school is above many privates because of its dedicated teachers, students, and faculty. This is what it comes down to. How good the people there are and how willing they are to work and succeed. Do research on each school. Many neighborhood public schools are horrible though, not just bad, HORRIBLE. www.greatschools.net will help you a lot. I wish I’d knew about this tool when I was applying to HS as a 7th or 8th grader. This allows you to compare stats and read others opinions. Good luck.
