Catholic School vs Private vs Charter vs Public

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?

Catholic schools run south LA.

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.

Charter -- only good for rural small towns that want to avoid the image of "segregated" and "not giving blacks a chance". If I am middle-class or above, there's just no way I send my child to one. Also, don't they have similar rules like Section 8 Housing? I don't know the whole process like I did when they became a splash some ten years ago. They also need to be well-funded and have enough students to serve as a Charter with options of a public and a nearby private (Delhi for instance) school. Mississippi has many that thrive, but look who I'm talking about here. I would not send my child to one, but it all depends on where I am living.
Mississippi needs them because they're about 70 percent rural and every small town -- the tons that the state has -- has/had a public and a private school. When segregation became law, towns like Canton and Clarksdale converted any building they could (tent factory in Canton, i.e.) into a private school. If one was black and lower-class, it only made sense to go to a public school. Now, Charters give them a 2nd option if the child can get in. Still, 99/100 white families in MS who live at or slightly above means will continue with private education and oddly enough, the poor/lower class whites who attend public school will stay put. That state will always have those issues. Charter schools in MS are just as minority-filled as public.
Pretty much.

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.
