If cost were the same, would you send your kids to Cincinnati Public Schools or to private schools?

My kids are grown and married. While they were growing up, we lived in Springdale and they graduated from Princeton HS..... but.. if I had it to do all over again, I would stay in Cincinnati and do whatever it took to get them into a CPS magnet program.

The Montessori Programs are so good, parents camp out overnight on the school grounds just for the opportunity to get on the waiting list. I don't think the School for the Creative and Performing Arts is a magnet program, but kids who go there get a solid start on entertainment basics from acting to stage production. I didn't go to Walnut Hills when I had the chance, but I hear parents these days will do whatever they can to get their children into that school. Cincinnati Public Schools have really changed since my kids were little.
