This is completely untrue. I have kids in a local public school that are doing great academically. One is in college with plenty of other kids from local private schools. Look at the colleges these public school kids are going to and they are just as impressive as the private school kids. The public school sports are competitive and are beating these local private schools teams in every sport except lacrosse. That is not to say there aren’t very talented lacrosse players at public schools. They just aren’t stacked like the private schools where kids are willing to drive an hour each way to school. I’ve got an extra $100,000 plus though in my pocket to cover college since we went public. Private schools are great too but don’t say Public schools are up to the task anymore. That’s incorrect. I have 3 kids that beg to differ.
