They'll miss out on the social piece of actually being around other kids in a school setting....the social aspect IMO, is JUST as important as the academics.

if you got good parents on your back stressing the importance of taking school seriously, you'll do good whether it be in a private school or public school.
In a lot of urban settings there are kids who are ostracized by their peer groups for showing an interest in academics. There are a lot of kids with IMMENSE potential who fall through the cracks (despite what their parents stress) because of where their school is located and the demographic.

I only really see it workin if youre kids want it without you even pushin for it, which probably wont happen unless you move around a lot.

When we lived in Africa I went to private schools, but when we moved here, my parents picked the neighborhood we moved into based on what schools me and my bro would be going to. Ive gone to a lot of different schools cuz of moving and I definitely feel that the cost of private school here isnt worth it for what youre getting. If it was only a few thousand a year, I might be able to justify it, but not at the prices Ive heard for the schools down here.
When we came back here from England (where I had gotten into a school for smart kids, and gone for free) I was definitely ahead in math and science, compared to other kids in public schools here, but I was ahead of the private school kids too.
I graduated top 1% in a big !%$ high school because I had taken mad APs, I think I took 3 regular classes ever and Im ahead of pretty much everyone at my college now, and its private. It really comes down to you takin the hardest classes you can and finding a good school district, do that and as a youngin you are MORE than good for college.
i'm debating sending my kids abroad for school
