The 100 BEST High Schools in America

I suspect (based on absolutely no data whatever) that private schools are slightly higher on the quality curve than public, if for no other reason than they have more money to spend per student. That's an average estimation, though, and the vast range of quality, or even the wide spread of what we consider "quality" makes generalizations questionable.

I was talking to a real parent today, and she noted that different school districts were better for different students. One has a great special needs program, another a good advanced students program, etc.

From my experience, I went to two private schools; one was pretty bad, the other pretty good in academics but not good on teaching social skills. The good one was probably better than most of the public schools in the area, but certainly not all. They did (an apparently still do) teach you to spell. If they only had taught me to type as well, I wouldn't have to edit my posts all the time. :(

I t makes me rather glad I don't have to deal with it as a parent. :)
At first I thought, "Mind control satellites? No way!" But now I can't remember how we lived without them.
