Public VS Private VS magnet schools?

<p>How do colleges add in what type of school you go to?
Does rigor of your school count in any way?</p>

<p>also, which schools do you think are best?</p>

<p>Does rigor of your school count in any way?
- Yes, colleges will evaluate you in the context of your school (i.e. course offerings, clubs, rankings, etc.)</p>

<p>also, which schools do you think are best?
- I think everyone just needs to find the school that works best for them. I've attended both public and private schools, and for me, I think the public schools are/were better than the private school I attended, because the public school, due to its size, was able to offer more of the things I was looking for (more courses, more competitive, clubs, etc.) That said, I know people who hate the public I'm at for various reasons. Like college, it's all about fit :P</p>

<p>the best school is the school right next to a good college. kids from Princeton High get into a certain Ivy league school very easily! haha</p>
