The four years a student spends in high school are important years in both the student’s personal and academic life. The right high school can nurture a student’s mind and sense of self, providing intellectual and social stimulation. There are many different kinds of high schools, including public schools and private schools.
Public schools are the most popular type of school in the United States. There are many excellent public high schools in America. Public schools are funded by taxes and other government-collected money. There are different types of classes that cater to a student’s need for academic challenge. The most common type of class is taught on the high school level. Honors classes are the next step up and are taught on an advanced level. Advanced Placement (commonly known as AP) courses are college-level courses that allow students to take exams at the end of the course for college credit. At high schools that offer dual-enrollment, students take classes at a nearby college, in addition to their high school courses, to begin working on a college degree. Public schools typically offer a wide range of curricular and extracurricular activities, such as sports (football, track, Basketball, etc.), academic organizations (National Honor Society, etc.), and special interest clubs (Future Farmers of America, DECA, Spanish Club, etc.).
Private schools are not funded by the government. They are instead funded through donations, grants, the tuition that students pay, and endowments. Parents choose to send their children to private high schools for several reasons. Class sizes at private schools are typically smaller than at public schools, which means teachers have more time to spend with individual students. Also, private schools teachers can create their own curriculum rather than teaching to state standards, so teachers can spend as much time as students need on complex subjects. Some private schools are religious (for example, Catholic schools).
Both public high schools and private high schools can provide students with a good education, but both types of schools cater to the needs of different students. Public high schools offer many different types of academic and extracurricular involvement opportunities. Private high schools offer a more specialized, individual learning environment.
