Pretty much all do.

Unless you're in the job market, why is this an important data point?

Maybe OP is in the job market or planning for the future. If you have nothing to offer why respond?

As a teacher and potential applicant, I care.

As a parent with a child in independent school I also care because it tells me how much the school values staff and I can assess how staff feel about the school by watching how many send their own kids.

I thought most don’t these days? Just offer financial aid?

Do you think the average parent at your child’s school knows the answer to this question?

The school where I teach removes the teaching parent's salary when computing financial aid. If there is a partner or spouse who earns about $150k or more, the family wouldn't receive much aid. If the teaching parent is single, then they will receive a robust financial aid package.

I don't think the average parent at my school immediately things about *how* our excellent teachers are recruited and retained. But every single parent cares once it is explained in those terms.

I know for certain of three schools that offer significant remission because they value it as part of their culture. St. Alban's, National Cathedral School, and St. Andrew's. Must be an Episcopal thing.

NCS rarely does. There's no guarantee.

I believe you're wrong. There's a significant % of remission plus you can apply for financial aid (suppressing employee salary from equation). Meeting criteria for admission is another thing.
