I however, went to private school K-9 and public school rest of HS. When my son gets to jr high if i have to take 3 jobs he is going there because the public school system as it is sucks big time!
a friend of mine went to a british style board school in Canada. She has since sent her daughters there too. Cannot be that bad if you in turn send your kids there from your own exp.

My husband went to a "Public school" in the UK. He went to Canford which is in the southern part of England. He was a day boy there, but most of his friends lived in houses. We are still making the 50th birthday party rounds for Canford boys and I'm amazed at how close they still are. He also went to Forres (sp) another boarding school before Canford, where the older boys were allowed to strike the younger ones. Canford is amazing. An American identified a Syrain artifact in the Tack room which was worth a fortune. I think it is funny that an American would recognize something that had been overlooked by so many well respected intellectuals.
