Our son is a basketball player (6'4" as a high school freshman). We actually moved him from private (Catholic) school to public school for high school. We're blessed with many of the top public high schools up here in Fairfax County, VA so we felt that he'd still get a high quality education if he applies himself.
In regards to sports the Catholic schools recruit and get more exposure as they can travel more for tournaments. However, our son plays on a national level AAU team and the AAU tournaments give him far more exposure to college scouts than high school basketball. It also ups his season from November-March to November-August and he plays about 80 games a year and gets an additional 6 months of intense basketball practicing and training. He also gets to play against the best competition in the area and in the country at AAU Nationals and Showcase tournaments.
Hope this helped.

Very true that summer camps and travel teams get more exposure than a kids high school.
