Yeah. Depends—fancy upper-middle-class and higher private schools are like that. The majority aren’t that sort, and both pay and perform on a similar level to public schools, if not worse. But the good ones, the ones people really think of when they say “private school” (but not the actual majority of such schools) do pay better and often have really good perks (the PTA-equivalent Christmas and end-of-year gifts you get at some private schools—damn!)

As a bonus, private schools are usually way more willing that public schools to tell annoying parents to get bent. Which is a pretty big perk on its own.
