K-12: Public or Private School?

[snickersnicker]

Private Catholic until second grade; public until my senior year (and on into undergraduate studies). I marked as 'public,' though, since I do my best to downplay the fact that I ever went to a religious school.

Public in a very blue collar town.  My graduating class had only one person that attended a decent school, and that was the salutatorian , who went to ND.  Everyone else went to state school or had babies.

I could have written almost exactly the same thing, only our salutatorian went to a state school.  Most went to work on farms; the lucky ones went to community college.

I put public b/c I went to public school for most of my my life, pre-college boarding school for grades 12 and 13.

I put other b/c I was Montessori public from K-3rd, Catholic from 4th-8th, and public (fights with hospitalization, lockdowns for drug searches with dogs, armed police in the hallways, and some of the best academics and extra-curriculars in the state) high school
