This article examines the effectiveness of private schools in comparison to public schools. Research has shown that private schools generally have smaller class sizes, more resources, and more parental involvement than public schools. Private schools also tend to have higher student achievement and graduation rates. However, the cost of private schools can be a major factor, making them inaccessible to many families. Despite this, private schools still offer many benefits to those who are able to attend them, including improved academic performance and higher graduation rates.
