My guess is that there are anomalies but that the aggregate data is clear. I also went to both public and private school. I went to a highly regarded public school system. Whe I went to private school in eighth grade I was WAY behind.

Smaller classrooms, more dedicated students etc. Even the "bad kids," we're smart.
