Private schools tend to get good results, but you have to consider that their students are the children of people who:

1. Have money; and
2. Are very interested in their kid's education

So they have a pretty big edge over the public schools. I don't think the religious stuff is a big factor, in my home town people with money send their kids to a Catholic school even if they're Protestants.

In my area, with just one large "Christian" academy, on a percentage basis the highest National Merit scores and most scholarships awarded come out of this group. They all graduate, most go on to college, and they don't bring grief to their parents by getting into serious trouble.


Sounds like the secular private high school I attended. I think it says more abut private education than teaching religion in school.
