A quick answer would be, depends on the school. Your other thread is going strong.

I'm not googling any easy resources.
Telling, I think, is articles like this that answers an obvious question, does parent involvement help the student? http://www.nwrel.org/scpd/sirs/3/cu6.html
I think we are in a middle of a territory war over who is in charge of educating our children. It appears that schools do not want to be left open to public scrutiny. There is very little consensus even on what is a good objective score of a school's peformance.

Since I only have one child she is in a local private school and is a year ahead of the kids in the public school. Her class has only twelve kids and the teacher has a full time assistant. The principal is also the administration but quite often a substitute teacher. Every penny is accounted for and the parents get to see the books anytime they want.
They go all out for the holidays and take one field trip per month. There is no political correctness or progressive agendas being shoved down thier throats. There is no comparison to our local public schools. Her school has numerous after school programs for sports, arts and gifted student classes. The upper classmen all are assigned a student to be a little brother or sister to and to help with school work. One of six counselors visits with each student every month to find out how they are doing and address any problems or issues.
When my daughter gets older she can still go to selected public school classes also if her school does not offer a particular subject.
I spend less then what a two pack a day smoker would spend per month on the tuition ($350).
