No, usually they're going to a private school to be in a certain social clique. Its actually quite poisonous IMO, had a few upper crust friends who went to O'Dea or Bishop Blanchet for high school here in Seattle (despite not being Catholic), and ended up getting in with those social cliques while letting their old friendships drift.
Most of that group did not make it through college, even for an Associates.
- nemothekid 8y agoI'm not sure the quality of the private schools you mentioned (O'Dea or Bishop Blanchet) are on par with what others consider as elite private schools. For one, those two schools have tuitions in the 10k-15k/yr range which is pretty low. Private schools in the northeast, like Milton Academy or Phillips Exeter are in the 45-50k/yr range. These schools also tend to have higher than average matriculation rates to elite universities like the Ivies as well. Teachers at those schools are definitely making more than their public school counterparts.
- vostok 8y ago> Teachers at those schools are definitely making more than their public school counterparts. I'm sure this is correct, but do you have a reference? Anecdotally, I have heard that teachers at top tier NYC private schools make less than teachers at NYC public schools. I don't have a source for that so I'm grateful for any information you can share.
