Most private schools are places to send kids that have had problems in public schools and need a highly restrictive environment. Or parents that dont want to hear any cussing in the halls of any sort. Depends on whether they are associated with a denomination or not also.

And in places like Highland Park the schools are very good but highly competitive and I would deem extraordinarily stressful as parents are competing against each other by GPA of their kids.

While I agree about DISD, It is just a small part of the public school system and the dfw area.. Rockwall,Richardson ,Plano Arlington ,Denton,and Grapevine are just a few of the better public school system in the area. As far as private schools St Marks is one of the best in the US.
