OT parents - do you prefer public or private schooling?

I know all schools are not created equal. Here in the Bay Area in California, some of the best schools are public especially in the tech dominant neighborhoods. Having said that, I like the discipline that private schools stress on which almost makes them worth the exorbitant costs.
What's the OT verdict? What are your criteria for picking schools?

If you're sending your kids to Baton Rouge public school you're probably better off sending them to Angola.

OT verdict= whichever school has less black people.
Each decision is different depending on many circumstances.
We love our private school because it kicks arse. Our of every class my kids have been in so far in 6 years we've never had more than two set of parents be divorced.
We know everyone and trust the hell out of everyone involved with the school.

Teachers suck equally at both and are to blame for all problems in education.

We go to church with the principal of the best private school in the area. Our plan was to send the girls from kindergarten through high school. The guy asked what school they were zoned for and we told him. "There is absolutely no reason to send them to us then. They're a better elementary than we are. If you want to send them to us starting in junior high, that would be beneficial. For now, it would be a waste of money."

10 pages of posters who have no concept of schooling outside south LA, therefore it must be the same throughout the country.

My son currently goes to a public elementary school in EBR. If the new St. George district doesn't come to pass, I'll be sending him to a private school for middle/high school. No way would I ever send my kid to a public middle school in their current state.

Homeschooling

I would have no problem sending my kid to public school in Lake Charles (Barbe), Ruston, West Monroe, or any of the legit charter/magnet schools in the larger cities in LA.
I think good public schools are actually more beneficial for development/discipline than the average catholic school. It exposes you to a lot more during common classes and events (PE, random social studies classes, athletics), while making sure they are in an AP/Gifted class for important stuff like English, math, physics, chemistry, etc.

No one "prefers" public. There are many factors that prevent some from going private. I couldn't care less what anyone says in their reply to your topic, they all would be happy to be private.
