Private schools certainly have their advantages, but even they are now adopting testing procedures. Most are going through ACT. It mirrors the common core tests. Also, many private schools use the old school method of teaching. Kids sit, listen, then regurgitate. Memorization of facts and no understanding of concepts. It makes for great students, if that is the goal.

I worked at a private high school for a few years. Private does not equal better. Choose wisely because all that glitters is not gold.

There is a place for that absolutely....however the greatest thing about private schools is that I can choose whichever one I want. Some do have unique characteristics and programs that prepare young people for college and even life after college.
In the public school system, at least in LA, for some reason they don't do this....I'm not sure if they can't do it or just won't.
Bottom line is I'd rather not have my child sitting somewhere wasting her time listening to some 25 yr old, simply working to get their next raise, regurgitate something that a theatre major from California thought would be a good idea to test high school students on.
