School selection, especially at the high school level, is arguably one of the most challenging decisions a parent will face. All parents want their children to succeed in life, and for many that includes securing a college degree from a reputable college. With admissions into colleges becoming more and more competitive, parents are doing everything in their powers to ensure that their students have the best opportunities available. And even in the midst of an economic depression, parents of all economic levels are fighting to give their children access to a solid secondary school education, often to the tune of thousands of dollars per year in private school tuition. But is it worth it? Do students who attend private high schools really fare better than their counterparts at public schools as it pertains to college admissions? In this April 2013 CNBC article, Jermaine Taylor argues that private school may or may not provide the academic advantage parents are seeking. It's worth a read for parents who are considering whether or not to send their child to a private high school.   Article Courtesy of: http://www.cnbc.com/id/100674932
