Host: How difficult is it to get into a private high school?

Andrew Battaile: For the most part private schools unlike public schools can choose who they want to have come to their school. So it can be difficult.

It's definitely a competitive process at a vast majority of public schools. So you should be ready to have your son or your daughter be prepared for any kind of possibility in terms of a decision from the school.
