Pros
Usually smaller class sizes w more individualized attention from teachers
Usually better teaching (you get what you pay for)
Usually have advanced placement classes
Private schools usually in nice/safer locations
Perhaps a higher costing private school brings better school security(?)

Cons
Higher cost than public school
Location of private school may not be in your area, creating a transportation concern (how to get your student to the private school)
Sports team options may be limited w a smaller private school student population & school staff
