[QUOTE="TwinCitiesFrog, post: 2397489, member: 72456"] I only went to public high school in Fort Worth so can't speak for elementary or middle but I thought I was well prepared for college going through Fort Worth Arlington Heights, of course I graduated HS 13 years ago. However my experience is that the drop off between honors/AP courses and the regular courses at Heights was huge whereas that wouldn't be the case in the privates. I will also add that I went to high school with a fair number of kids who went public for elementary, private for middle, and then back to public for high school. When my family moved to Fort Worth I visited All Saints, Oak Ridge, TVS, Country Day, and SW Christian and ultimately decided that public school was the best fit for me. For me it was more of a cultural fit having always gone to public school in a smaller city (about 100k) before moving to Fort Worth the whole private school atmosphere was foreign to me. As a side note I saw later on in this thread that you went to school in the MSP burbs. I currently live in the SW suburbs of Minneapolis and the quality of the public schools here vs FWISD is night and day. [/QUOTE]
