You have a right to an education. You have the priveledge of getting a private education.
Rights are those things which apply to all people. Rights are guarnteed by the government and cannot be taken away. The right to a decent education, the right to practice freedom of religion, the right to choose what career you want to have, the right to choose who you marry. These are rights.
Priveledges are those things which are not guaranteed. They are options that one must qualify for and often must pay for). Priveledges can be denied and can be taken away by the organization that grants the privedledge. Private education, country club membership, driving a car. These are priveledges.

Are the kids unruly, disrespectful, disruptive ? Those are the only reason that I can see that the School would say that.
I would say though that it is a privilege, this is a privet School, not a public School. To be excepted in such a School, is a privilege, not a right.

Nobody has the "right" to private education.
Many private institutions have intense qualification and screening processes because there is high demand and limited space. Private means "private." Public school is a right.

Private schools do have the legal right to refuse anyone. But how Christian are they if they turn people away.

Private schools have the right to deny people from entering their programs. That's what they mean.

They're privilaged because private schools don't just let anyone in like public schools are required to-- private schools can pick and choose who they want.

Correct - it IS a privilege not to attend a Baptist School.

You are guaranteed an education. That is your right.
You are not guaranteed a private education. That is a privilege.
