If you understand how admissions works at colleges and universities, you would know how insignificant SAT scores are in today’s acceptances. Most have abandoned its requirement as there are many more metrics out there that are not standardized in nature.... to judge the merits of a prospective student. AP level course load an example! The SAT only intended benefit was to barcode tests to pinpoint problem teachers....fair enough. But that is public bureaucracy at its finest....and it failed.
Your take on private schools clearly is a regional observation, as the majority of private schools have no religious affiliations.....what you’re talking about is parochial school. To say that ’parental involvement’ is higher with parents of private or parochial students vs those of public school parents.....on its face is an ignorant statement.
