Meh, I'm not sure about that.
Now if you had said Jesuit compared to Lusher or Ben Franklin, probably so.

My only concern is that in many cases I don't see where they justify their cost if people aren't going to be prepared for rigorous college programs
I'm thinking that you aren't that familiar with what a good private school is like or what a bad public school is like.
But yes, now all private schools are equal.

I am not sure about this one.

Thankfully your justification is meaningless as to where I choose to spend my money.

Numerous studies over the years have proven it to be true.
The explanation is private school kids come from higher income families giving them the ability to afford access to drugs.

No. I understand that a good private school is worth it. I'm being critical of the private schools that are essentially just church camps with uncertified teachers charging 5K+ a year.

In theory for 2 reasons:
1) supposedly you don’t have to deal with the troubled kids in and public school and al the red tape.
2) you don’t have to be certified like public schools require.
Your first reason is what I hear most from certified teachers who have chosen to forego higher salary and work in private schools
The second reason usually explains the high number of young coaches teaching in private schools.
I was an administrator of a private school about a decade ago. Private school does not always equal better education. A middling private school can be bested by a good public district.
Great public school districts have the resources to support their higher achieving students that many private schools cannot provide.

Oh, so you mean Parkview?

Drug use is the same across privates and publics. From what I see being involved in the charter world in Memphis, the public school kids are more brazen about drug use and possession at school private school kids are smarter about hiding it

Suit yourself? I would warn anyone to make sure that if they spend 10K a year on anything, make sure it delivers. I've seen people spend that much money before and let's just say their kid didn't live up to it. I'm not blaming the school, just temper your expectations.
And I just got finished saying if you can afford it, God bless you.

I was thinking Redemptorist. Only because my cousins said it was relatively lackluster before the shutdown.

Your concern is duly noted.

It had certainly fallen off in its last decade of operation

Did they lose funding or something? Years past, some lawyers sent their kids there.

I have nothing against private schools. You're blessed if you or your children get to go because not everyone has that opportunity.
I know there some locals where the public schools are so unsafe that you really have to go private, even if the edcuation isn't much better.
But, in general, if the public school isn't unsafe, then send the kid there, and take the 5-6K a year in tuition and put it into a 529 plan. Even if your kid gets TOPS, you can pull from the plan for other college expenses.

Central and Zachary becoming very good public schools took a lot of good students away.

What about the kids future network? I feel like I was behind many of my private school friends because zero people from my high school became successful attorneys or doctors etc. My network sucked arse. Love my friends but they some baws. Biggest investment opportunities I hear about is LIMU or some other MLM.

That's what college is for.
And unless you want to go into white-shoe law or investment banking, I'm not sure that kind of networking really matters.
Even doctors... it's all about getting into a good medical school and then doing well.

I don't know about charter schools, but many parochial schools don't require certification. Teachers go there because they can't pass the PRAXIS. They allow you to teach without any training in education. That's one of the reasons.

I doubt very much that this is the reason that most choose to teach at a private school.
