Go for the school district. The government ain't coming to help you. If the kids gotta share a room or live in a basement that's a solveable problem. Private school will bleed you.

The school thing is about Values. I pay $1000.00 a month for private school for my sons because high quality education is a Value. Education is how I escaped poverty so this is closely held.

If you research public vs private, it's more about the values you instill at home. Assuming the school works for the child (Montessori for example) it's a wash. Interesting note, even in poor school districts kids don't really deviate much until 3rd grade. That's where school actually matters. Source: Freakonomics, book and podcast
