I agree with this. From what I have seen, the PG kids max out the STEM side by 9/10 grade if not sooner. But at least they find peers and teachers who respect them at these privates.

I agree Val and this is a great point. I was thinking more about the home school side of things. The psychological effect of the right surroundings are really profound for kids.
