ADDITIONAL FACTS TO CONSIDER
“All states have experienced an increase in private school enrollment in recent years. Private schools strive to form partnerships with parents of their students so that they are unified in their goals and values. This teamwork approach transmits a solid consistent message to students from adults in their home and academic environment, resulting in grounded students with an aptitude for achievement.” --from “Private Schools, the Hottest Thing Since Sliced Bread”
