In a 2007 study, "Are Private High Schools Better Academically Than Public High Schools?" the Center on Education Policy (CEP) found that once key family background characteristics were considered, public high school students do as well as private school students. "When we controlled for other factors, family background was the biggest determinator of how a kid was going to do," says Diane Stark Rentner, Deputy Director of the CEP.
The report found that:
1. Private high school students scored no better on achievement tests in math, reading, science and history than their counterparts in public high schools.
2. Private high school students were no more likely to attend college than their public high school counterparts.
3. By age 26, young adults who had attended private school enjoyed no more job satisfaction than those who had attended public high schools and were no more likely to be engaged in civic activities.
The study did identify two exceptions: Kids who attend private school had higher SAT scores. According to the study, "independent private school students do not learn any more than other students as measured on achievement tests, but they do perform better on the SATs." CEP believes this "could mean that students in private schools tend to have higher IQs (aptitude tests are a better measure of IQ than achievement tests) or that private schools are better at honing students' test-taking skills (on which
SAT scores are somewhat dependent)." This, in turn, gave private school students an advantage getting into elite colleges.
Catholic schools run by holy orders did have some positive academic effects, such as slightly higher achievement levels in reading, math and history.

7edu-Dr. Jing 中級顧問本人持有加州公立高中數學物理教師永久證書，在美國公立高中和私立高中教過十余年。這里我簡單聊幾句：我的觀點是公立高中，私立高中各有利弊。
這篇文章比較的是同類家庭條件下成長起來的孩子，有這樣的經濟能力，居住區(qū)所轄的高中一定也優(yōu)秀，也就是說入讀的公立高中和一般的公立高中不具有可比性。
公立高中一個很大的優(yōu)勢是榮譽班的設置。榮譽班的學生是憑成績進去的，成績不好就掉下去了，所以學習風氣比普通班要好，學的內容比普通班要深。從我輔導過的來自優(yōu)秀公立高中學生（來自包括basis scottsdale high, pvp high, gunn high, troy high 這些全美和加州的名校)和優(yōu)秀私立高中的學生（來自包括harker, milton, peddie, chase等名校）的AP微積分和AP物理來看，學習的深度和寬度幾乎沒有什么區(qū)別，公立學校的進度也許更快一些。私立學校如果規(guī)模不夠大，一般不分班，加上分數的壓力，相對少的學時，這是它的劣勢。
私立學校在培養(yǎng)學生全面發(fā)展方面要遠比公立學校好。比如說人品的教育，公立學校幾乎不怎么管。私立學校在愛心教育，社會服務，做人方面的教育要完善得多。再比如說參加校隊打比賽，公立學校孩子參加的機會甚微。這是因為公立學校建一個校隊，報名的有十倍以上的學生。而私立學校則幾乎是人人有機會。我曾經問過我在私立學校的一個學生，參加校網球隊的選拔機會如何，學生告訴我23人參加，錄取22人。
私立學校有一個不太好的風氣，那就是攀比。我小女兒跟著我讀私校一/二年級的時候，認識的名牌車遠比我多。一次開家長會，她稍稍跟我說能不能把家里的車停遠一些。但如果往正面看則學生給自己立的目標高一些。私立學校畢業(yè)的學生大都想進一個更好的大學，公立學校畢業(yè)的則相對沒有那么強烈。

家長：
您好，請問您的Point是 什么？ 是給我們一些常識性的知識嗎？如果您真正了解美國，或者說了解美國的教育，又或者說，您本人是生活在美國的，那么這篇文章可能對絕大多數美國顧問是沒有幫助的。
不過，感謝你找出來這么一篇文章來。
