Why send your kids to private high school?
Many private secondary or high schools can promise better facilities or more caring educators on staff. A survey by the Council for American Private Education showed that graduates of private secondary schools score above average on math, reading, writing and science tests. Three times as many private high school students as public high school students claimed that their schools taught them community service values. 55% of parents who send their children to public school would send their children to private school if they could afford it.
If you have sent your kids to public elementary school, the four years of private high school can be an affordable way to improve their education as they enter the college and university years.
