There are many, many reasons why certain private schools would be the better choice for you, and there are also many, many reasons why a public school would be the best choice for you. This is what I've been trying to get across to people. People come on here putting down private schools saying so many bad things about them. Well, the smaller class sizes, the smaller student-to-teacher ratio, the not allowing certain behaviors in the school, the average of many years of teaching experience by the teachers, and other things are many things that cannot be denied. That's not to say that the many pluses about public schools aren't there either. You can stay with people from your community, it's free, there is a much broader curriculum to choose from, the many special programs available, and probably much more.
There are many pros on both sides. One thing to consider is that private schools are much smaller and making teams is probably easier, but on the flip side if you make them at a public school you've got more to brag about.
All in all, you just need to consider what is there for you and what you want. Personally, the school I went to was great for me. It's not for everyone. Some schools are for some people, others for others. The big point is that in arguing you need to consider what the other side has, not just blindly put them down and deny everything.
