we got a nearby public/private school that is a christian prep school, they get all the new funding and are under construction for new buildings. the public schools dont ahve those resources. i dont think this is those that take private vouchers since we are in a blue area, but the difference is staggering, if they get more funding they have better chances of prepping thier students for college. while the hs i went to only had a small handfull of students that were truly "successful", they had classes where they shunt underperforming students as a "babysat" class, usually its a class about random subjects.
