In my opinion when you go to a private school, chances are the education and circulum will be more challenging then a public schools. Although at a private school you have the chance to take honors and AP classes. I think it is up to the student how much effort they put into it. It is easy to graduate from a public school, no problem but with a private school it takes more effort. Once students get to college each one of them have a different education than another one. Thats why for some people it almost hurts them in the long run because it makes their GPA's look worse then they are. Some ways to fix this is to make  public school as a whole more challenging for everyone. Everyone should be required to take at least honors class so no one is treated "different." Even though at my school honors and regular classes didn't seem much different. It would at least label the fact that students actually need to try to pass high school. It all goes back to how much effort someone puts into it. If it isn't a lot of effort then it will show in the colleges that they may or may not get accepted too.
