Carmel valley schools v. “Private schools”

[cvmom]

In the small private school that my children attend in Carmel Valley, the ratios are great. Maximum 22 kids per grade–3 teachers in K, 2 in 1st grade, 1.5 in all other grades up through 6. Plus full-time music, Spanish, and computer teachers who serve the whole school. The level of tailoring of the curriculum to each individual is impressive. In my evaluations of my public schools (Carmel Creek, Solana Pacific, CVMS), the lower grades do not have a comparable solution for individualized work plans.

I’m sure every private school is different. However, based on my research, Mission Bay Montessori have 2 teachers in every classroom of max 24 kids for K-3rd grade. For 4th-6th grade, it’s 1 teacher for every 24 students.

One thing that I don’t think anyone has touched on yet is how your child feels. I think either choice – a CV public school or a private school will provide a good academic environment, but if your child is unhappy it won’t matter.

I went to all of them in San Diego–public, private, and parochial. I had great experiences at some, not so great experiences at others. There was a year when I was miserable…when my parents saw this they pulled me out and I chose where I wanted to go. As a result, I excelled academically and my overall happiness improved greatly.

Another important point is extracurricular activities..it is no longer about who has the highest SAT score. Universities are looking for well rounded individuals.

Thanks. That’s interesting.

So, you live in Carmel Valley and you send your kids to private school ?

That’s just wierd. Not in a bad way. Just that I expect people to live in Carmel Valley so they can send their kids to the nice, free schools there.

If I sent my kids to private school, I certainly wouldn’t live in CV, even if the school were there.
