100% accurate. The basic curriculum at most of these private schools is on par with the AP curriculum at public schools.

What about the AP curriculum at the private schools?


AP classes in public school are the equivalent of regular classes in private schools.
The Honors and AP courses at private school are far beyond anything offered at public schools. And it's not even close.
My kid also NEVER got a B in public school. Our fridge was covered in those notIntelligent honors magnets.
Now at a local private MIAA school, he's working harder than ever and is a B student.
Colleges know this.
And I see it with our company's own recruiters. They know that private school students = deeper, critical thinkers.

^^^^^Facts^^^^^

The curriculum is more rigorous at schools that have to sell parents (and students) on why they should spend $30k a year.

College counselor workloads are different as well. Public school college counselors have hundreds of students in their caseload. Private school counselors have far less, which means more attention, deeper relationships with college admissions folks, etc.
