Why Private?

The benefits of a private education
far outweighs the cost

01.

EdCo Schools are known for their high standards. Private schools are required to provide an equivalent education to their public counterparts, but they are free do do so by their own unique approach.

02.

Students perform better than their public school counterparts on standardized achievement tests. (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Results of the Natonal Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).

03.

Students from low socio-economic backgrounds  attending provate schools are more than three times more likely to attain a bachelor’s degree by their mid-20s than their public school counterparts. (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Private Schools: A Brief Portrait, table 13.)

04.

Private schools are racially, ethnically, and economically diverse. Twenty-seven percent of private school students are students of color. (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Characteristics of Private Schools in the United States: Results From the 2009-10 Private School Universe Survey, table 9.) 

05.

Private secondary school students are nearly 50 percent more likely to take AP or IB courses in science and math than public school students.  (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Transcript Study (HSTS) 2000 (Washington, D.C., 2004).

06.

The participation of private school students in community service projects is significantly higher than their public school counterparts. (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Service-Learning and Community Service Among 6th- through 12th Grade Students in the United States: 1996 and 1999 (NCES 2000-028) (Washington, D.C., 1999), table 2.)
