Many parents differentiated only private schools as having the high tuition and other matriculation expenses. However, we can define a private school from a public school in its proper perspective.

For private schools
* Private schools really have much higher fees than public schools because these schools invested millions of dollars in constructing their buildings, laboratory facilities, salaries for quality and high-caliber professors with masters and doctorate degrees.
* Private schools are conducive for learning for students because they have well ventilated building structures. This means most of the classrooms in private schools have air condition units, so that the learning activities are really ideal.
* Private schools truly promote quality of education considering they hire top professionals in the industry. This means their graduates are really good professionals.
* Private schools have strict compliance in their student acceptance policies. If you are below average student you will not accepted to private schools. Many boarding schools are now very visible in the US because a decade ago many parents have realized the effective strategies it is implementing which really results to better and quality graduates.
For public schools
* Public schools are maintained by the government. This means the kind of education they can offer depend on the budget allocation of local school boards.
* Public schools are not really compatible with private schools when it comes to quality education. Although some public schools also produce good and brainy students.
* Public schools are sometimes not conducive to learning, since there is not much budget allocation from the government. This means there are times the budget for public schools is small.
* Public schools are sometimes having incompetent teachers because of low salaries they offer. However, in the US there are bigger public schools because the country is fully developed and education has much higher budget.
