What is good education "worth"? Immeasurable.
What does good education cost? Different question.
Catholic schools spend less per student, but have higher success rates.
I suppose when parents are willing to invest education dollars on top of their property taxes paying for public schools, they will be engaged, and take part in their child's education.
Catholic schools also have the advantage of being able to kick out troublemakers.
Public school systems typically have a much higher percentage going to administrative costs.
Cost per student goes up, success rates do not change.
