Have you looked into magnet schools or charter schools? Not sure if they are available in your area.
We too faced this dilemma. Public or private. There are pros and cons to both. We got pretty fortunate with the community where we bought our house, the community has their own public school, a portion of our association fees go towards the school, etc. So as a community we are pretty involved in the school. Even though it is a public school, they wear uniforms and I've been pleased with the school so far.
We still have the private school option on the table as there are quite a few where we live, some that are non denominational, etc. But as long as his current school is being ran as is, we'll keep them there.
It's a tough choice, but know whatever you decide, your parenting at home is a key factor in their life.
