Just intersted to heat others' opinions on private versus public schooling. Where do send your child and why?

I have just started looking into primary schools for Archie and there are 4 schools i am considering, will probably enrol in each school and decide when the time gets nearer. there are 2 very small country public primary schools that i love and there are 2 R-12 private schools in our town, 1 is Lutheran and 1 is Catholic, though religion doesn't even come into it when enrolling your child. The reasons i am considering private are:

1. I like that the kids have to strictly adhere to uniforms and they always look so smart.
2. i might have more of a say in his education if need be.
3. (this sounds terribly snobby) there might be less chance of him falling into the "wrong" crowd?

SO, what do you think???
