Would you change your school? Would you go to a private school instead of a public school? Or to a public school instead of a private school? Private and public education are different in many ways. Student performance varies but the advantage would definitely be going to a private school.

Private schools vary greatly from public schools in many aspects. Private schools on average have a higher performance, grades, test scores and overall education. Private schools usually have a smaller student body. Having a smaller student enrollment is also a benefit. When you have a smaller enrollment the students will know each other better which makes a safe and homey environment for everyone.

Public schools are at the opposite end of private schools on the spectrum. Public schools tend to have lower performance rate and the overall education is quite low. Public schools tend to have a rather large student body. This can be bad in some ways because with big student enrollment cliques start to form and the percent of people being bullied is enormous to that of the bullying rate in private schools. The crime rate in public school is far more than that of a private school.

Private schools and public schools vary in a lot of ways, but in some ways they do have their similarities. Most private and public schools host grades K-12. They both teach about the same criteria. Both schools have different programs you can be a part of like band, choir, many different sports, theater arts, and many other extracurricular activities. Both types of schools offer different types of scholarships and grants along with many other honors when graduating.

Even though the cost of a private school is much higher than that of a public school the decision is well worth it. The high education you will receive at a public school will equip you for life and help you succeed. Private schools are the superior choice to public schools.
