Will I regret switching to public high school? [Decide My Life Ep. 1]

Prediction market on manifold. As many of you know, I am currently enrolled in a New York (State) private school. After the @/realDonaldTrump/am-i-screwed-read-desc incident, along with a bunch of other, let's say, interesting stuff that my school administration has done, I've decided to go to public high school after I graduate middle school this year. Here's my reasoning: Pro-private (random order): I have friends there and I haven't been in the public school system for 4 years It's a nice campus, they have good food, etc. They have a really cool original science research program (my public HS has this too, but I think it's not as good) They have Latin, which I'm already taking and I'd have to switch languages May or may not have slightly better college counseling/matriculation, though it's not as good compared to other private schools Possibly better academics, but my public HS is supposed to be pretty good too Pro-public (also random order): Private school is really expensive Private school did some crazy stuff this year that we didn't like Math at public is supposed to be better than at my current school Shorter commute (1hr vs. 10 mins) Shorter school day (8am-2:30pm vs 7:45am-5pm) Private school requires like 90 mins/day of team sports and weekend games, which is not a killer but it's a lot of time Private school got rid of APs because they said they were racist (?) Public school is more intellectually diverse, my private school is super duper woke After one semester of public school, I'll decide whether I regret the decision or not. Resolves YES if I do, ORN. I'll provide reasoning. I still technically haven't filed the papers to go to public yet, so for some reason if I end up going to my current school/a different private school next year, resolves N/A. Also, I know I doxxed myself the other day so it wouldn't be hard for you to find what school I go to and who I was talking about in the Am I Screwed market, but please don't do that for everyone's safety.
