Every situation, locale and kid are different. There is no way to answer the question without first acknowledging that and taking that into your calculus.
Charlotte, and my part of Charlotte in particular, is different depending on where you live. They introduced some pretty severe MtoM (minority to majority) here in the early 70's that caused a real explosion (relative) of private schools in a small radius. All, or most, of them are very good, but the public schools can also be very good in this area, depending on the parent's involvement, focus and expectations.
I have three boys and we sent them to one of the private schools here. Why?, probably because we could afford to and we moved here when one was starting high school, one middle school and one kindergarten. It seemed safer and we were not sure where we would end up living since we rented initially. I also like the idea of the school managing to its' clients and not to some larger system.
Everyone's situation is different and what works for one may not for another, parents or children.
