I taught at a private school for several years, and what I saw there convinced me that they are up against many of the same things that public schools are except they need a marketing budget and all the parents have financial resources (although few had the resource of time).

I guess I think it's hard to make real generalities about public v private schools, and good data is hard to come by since stats can be juiced in various ways for various reasons.
