I went to public school all years except grade 7 and 8 where I was at a private school. I think private school was a fairly popular choice because I remember a lot of people I knew went from public to private school for their secondary school. I think I had better teachers & education in private school than I did in public and the building was wayyyyy nicer than any public schools I’ve ever been to. But otherwise I don’t think it makes too much of a difference which one you go to.
Oh, and I’m from Canada. Secondary school is grade 7-11 (something like that I forgot how many years exactly cause I didn’t complete it..) in Quebec

In my early years of school I went back and forth between private and public.
Kindergarten at a private school
Then a different private school in 1st grade
2nd, public
3rd, public, then majority of the school year in private
4th public and haven't gone back. I was going to go in 4th grade with the private school but it was too expensive.
The private schools were also Christian Lutheran schools. Even as a child I didn't like going to a religious school, esp when we aren't religious people. In the private school there was literally only one class per grade, so hopefully you liked tour classmates cause if not, you're gonna see them again next year. The school also had grades 6th-8th but no high school.
Overall I didn't enjoy going to private school. I didn't really enjoy school at all, but more so did not like private, esp with the whole religion thing.

I went to nothing but public school from 1st-5th grade. From 6th-8th grade I bounced between public and online school due to my fluctuating mental. My 9th-11th grades were spent at an atrocious charter school. Since my mental health dipped again in 2019 I spent my senior year online. I was able to graduate a few months early thanks to the pandemic.
Public school >>>>>>>> anything else to be honest. I’m the kind of learner who needs direct communication with my teacher. In online school I had to wait at least a day for a teacher to respond to any questions. Without that gentle push I often became overwhelmed from my classes. Avoiding any more online classes is actually why I took a gap year before college. I’ll still have to do a few in the Fall, but at least I’ll have the option to take some in person.

I've always gone to public schools since kindergarten. I haven't moved since kindergarten either so a lot of people I go to school with currently (I'm in high school) I've known who they were since elementary school which is kinda weird lol. I did online school the last quarter of last year but it was still my school and same teachers not actual virtual. This year I surprisingly was in person the entire school year so I never actually did official online school.
I only attended public school. I would have loved to do cyber school because I’ve dealt with bullying in the past. It would have helped. My dad offered to let me cyber school, but something held me back. Honestly, I regret it now. I wanted to experience cyber school.

i've always been to local public schools and i still got a pretty good education. i had the option to go to a grammar school when i was ~11ish, which is still public i'm pretty sure but you have to pass a test to get in so it's a little more academic. didn't end up going which i definitely don't regret because i think being in a more intense environment like that would've lead to even faster burnout. same with private schools - was never really an option for me but i don't think i would've wanted to go even if i could've

I bounced between three private schools as a kid, two non-religious and one Catholic. Don't go to Catholic school, don't think about Catholic school, don't send your kids to Catholic school. Just don't.
The other two non-religious private schools were ok. Looking back on it, I think public school would've been a better fit for me. There were many other options with classes and such at public school from what I've heard about the one here.

I was most of my school life in a public school, but when my family had to move I ended up going to a private catholic girls school.
It was the only school near the new home and I was begging that I wouldn't need to go still to the public school, because I got bullied
there like really badly, but that's another topic. Anyways, they checked out the private school and it turns out the school is super expensive, but I got really lucky. I still don't understand why exactly it worked out how it did, but the town ended up paying the school for me and I was able to go for free to this private school! Turned out girls can be even more mean than boys..

I went to a public school and I hated it, though I think I probably would have had the same problems fitting in at a private school too and not sure if they’re any cleaner 
. I did have teachers that cared about me and I am grateful for that though .

public k-12, going to a public college in the fall (USA)
i was looking at a couple private colleges in my college search (narrowed down to one main option near the end), but it came down to "uhhhh i'm not paying a hundred twenty thousand dollars plus to go to a religious university a thousand miles away that'll hate me if they figure out i'm gay" and "ooooooooo scholarship money"
i'm very happy with where i'm going to end up in the fall and i feel like it was meant to happen, so i'm very glad for that!

I went to public school all my life! I think that it was the best option for me, as I have a lot of social anxiety. My parents wanted me to go to public school a kid so I could learn to be more social, and it worked. I have no complaints about going to public school, it has a lot of good memories for me.
I live In the USA, but specially a very country and small town.

I went to public school majority of my life however my parents decided to move me to a private one after my first semester of high school. It sucked. The good thing however, that the private school I went to was basically a homeschooling program so I was able to work at my own pace and graduated a year early. I suppose that is a fair trade off for not being allowed to pick a language to learn and not having a prom and only being the only other person in my grade. I am in the usa, and the area I lived in was poor and the education wasn't good. Majority of the people who lived there were kids or grandkids of people who moved north from the south because of the mines shutting down. The public school was better off when they got a grant from Obama, but of course I was already placed in the other school. I am sure there are other public and private schools that were great for people and were more well rounded for education and diversity.
I think I learned the most when I went to college and as an adult reading stuff online. Reflecting back, it just seems sad and kinda scary. I just wish I knew what I know now then. Adults were really ignorant or just hateful about some things. I am thankful for the public middle school Native American education. Alot of us are part Native and it just amazed me later how many schools in the country didn't really teach much about Natives beyond small pox and being wiped out. Like, we learned about different tribes and customs and beliefs and farming habits and such.
