The "Christian School Syndrome" Is the fact that many in Christian schools think they are more intelligent and therefore better than others, and can be very judgmental, sheltered, and legalistic.
The latter of course only attend Christian school to please/impress their parents. Christian schools should train students to use their education for God, not for themselves.

After grade school I went on to both public and private high schools and colleges, and had all sorts of good and bad experiences. The quality of my time seemed to have nothing to do with the type of institution--it was always the people that made it or broke it.

I had a major leg up on the public school kids in my classes when they started introducing curriculum that at one point was accepted to be something you have to know before going into college. It is my understanding a lot of that has changed.

I've never been in a christian school, just a hellhole named a "school", but I know exactly what you're talking about. My non-religious friends treat me like an actual person and far better than all of my christian friends besides one single person.
