I was middleclass while my kids grew up so we selected catholic school for Primary School and High school and Boy Scouts for leadership training.
My two boys then went to State University (low tuition) for Engineering Degrees. Both boys got jobs right out of the box and the feed back is that their supervisors love them.
Its obvious that I am proud of them, but the point is that I kept them out of the public school system as I felt Catholic school was more conservative at that time, and with Boyscouts they underwent Junior Leadership training.
And based on their accomplishments these were the best decisions I ever made.(Did I mention they are both Eagles?):D

Congrats. I am in the middle of going the same route with my kids in Catholic Schools. It tends to make the family pretty broke. I won't be paying for college. They'll have to manage on their own, unfortunately. I'll help them through it. But it will be done very cost effectively. My son is in competitive sports and he loves it. My daughter is managing her own business on the side while in school at 15 years old (with help from mom and dad).
