Which would you send your child to and why? My oldest is entering Pre-K next year and weighing the options. I went to Catholic school from Pre-K until college. I'm not sure the extra expense is worth the educational difference. I believe I'll be extremely involved in their education and thus potentially charter or public school is the better investment. This is in the Belton/Temple TX area for those interested.

Just depends on how good the schools are in your area and what you want out of said school.
Do your research. Some private and catholic schools are average and some are outstanding

I'm not all that familiar with Texas, but aren't they known for good public schools?

I had two graduate from Catholic schools, and my youngest is currently a sophomore. Very happy with the choices we made.

Public if you want your child to learn how to deal with adversity

How is public school or a charter school an investment?

There is no universal answer to your question as it depends completely on where you are.

Around New Orleans, private schools have a better learning environment than most public schools. The advanced study public schools are pretty much the best around here, then private, then regular public.
