I went to a co-ed private high school and intend to send DD there when the time comes. I won't be going into debt for it but like Bath, think that you have to spend money somewhere so it might as well be on getting an education you are completely happy with. Of course there are great state high schools and when we actually get to that point, we might change our mind based on what has happened over the next 10 years but for now we are happy with where her name has been placed.
I'm not in a position to be going into debt but I think if I was, I wouldn't. Definitely not $1000s and $1000s in debt. I'm not really comfortable with spending money I don't actually have (although, there are times I would reconsider this stance; a conservative home loan for eg).
ETA: Also should add that if our financial situation changed or the fees sky rocketed to a point where it would not be feasible for us, we would look at public schools until we found one we were happy with rather than go into debt.
