The school got the best results in the area. Knowing the type of person I am, the private school that I went to allowed me to get the best results that I could. I had not seen or experienced another school environment which was more beneficial to my learning. It is possible that I could have got better marks elsewhere (I doubt it) but the private school must have been doing something right as it was easily getting the best results in the area every year, and had done so for about 15 straight years.
