not sure - but the fact that kids who are bad off can go to Jesuit and become successful is the point

So you are guilty of generalizing public vs private schools just like many others

I got recruited after my sophomore year to go from public to private for football. I'm glad I did a my class went from being 500 to less than 100.
If we lived where I grew up I'd send my kids to the school I played football at. Large public schools suck. The public school they go to now is about the same size as my private. My youngest/most talented wishes he could go to a school that recruits players. Private here plays 8-man and the closest full private squad is an hour away (and the tuition there is more than State's out-of-state tuition for my generation).

Ugh, yes you are
He is saying the fact “look how many successful Jesuit Country day etc etc “ grads there are says more about the family those kids come from than the actual school they attend. And he is right
Your point of “some poor kids go there too” doesn’t change the overall point.

And I asked what he meant by that - because I totally agree with
I know some very successful people who went to 35 - they were actually better off than a few of the friends I had at Dominican - all of them are still successful today
What the similarity among all of them was the parents
Sooooo - not sure what chalmetteowl was getting at with the money thing
Bc poor people can go to a good a school and still be successful - that’s why plenty try to get in

the kids that went to private when I was in school were all shite heads with rich parents
Even at the school on Carrollton and Banks, this is untrue. They've never turned down someone who qualified academically but couldn't pay.

For me, the public average act is 24 and the private is 26. That doesn’t warrant private school"
A kid's education isn't just comprised of an ACT score

Maybe in another state. LA avg is 18.1
Private school avg is 24.

The benefits to private in my experience were far more than the ACT scores.

How many of the private schools are co-ed now? Are all of the Catholic schools still separate? That would be a big deal for me. Your kids are going to have to deal with the opposite sex and minorities once they join the real world.
This tells me you know nothing about this topic.

If you live in a high net worth rural area public is fine due to homogeny. If you are in a major metro diverse shithole public school is child abuse.

My kids are in public school on the Northshore and I haven’t seen any woke shite being pushed on them.
Also to the person who said private schools don’t tolerate unruly brats that may be the case for some but not for all. My kids used to be in private school here and one of the main issues was the rich kids with the big donor parents were complete shitheads and got preferential treatment and rarely disciplined.

Again, depends on the area. Where I live in LA the gap is much closer, like 1-2 points depending on the school and the public schools pump out some very high achievers. Roughly 15% of Mandeville HS senior class scored over 30 on the ACT with 6 of those being national merit finalists

The public school also had more national merit students than the private school did

Even we assume this true, what does it have to do with the clear reality that going to a single-sex school has zero negative impact on one’s ability to succeed in the real world?
It’s a massive shifting of the goal posts from the post I responded to.

So a magnet school versus a private school?
