I think this is why many of us have encouraged the OP to look into their options. There are bad private schools, and there are good privates. Just as there are bad public schools, and good public schools. So far, we're 1 for 2 with publics and 1 for 1 with privates (good over total). On both the public and private side we avoided some we felt would be a bad fit. Sure we were lucky to find a good private and, later, a good public fit, but good research made it easier to get lucky.

Best of luck,
