Private schools have a big advantage in the area of quality vs
dollars. Most importantly they don't have to accept or retain
everyone. That gets rid of the high cost or disruptive "problem"
students. Additionally they don't have to fund all of the high cost
"feel good" programs mandated by the feds.

And around here, the private schools - at least the parochial ones - pay teachers
less. But, the students are much better disciplined and motivated. I would have
gladly taken a pay cut to teach in one of them, but the teachers there don't ever
seem to leave.

You have to take your A levels tests in England. I think about 10th grade.
Your future education depends on those tests.
