Yes, we started in middle. Our "grrst: public schools only start to shit the bed in middle in high. Plus the small class sizes go a long way
Out private has a class all through middle school dedicated exclusively to forming good study and organization skills. I have one kid headed to Pinceton next year. Doubtful we'd have had the same result had we stayed with our public.

Sure bro

Appreciate you're admitting this!

The great value comes from the connections your children are going to have.

I'm from nyc as well...

Being surrounded by kids of a high SES and high involved and invested parents is absolutely beneficial.

However our main driver was the class sizes. My kids went from chaotic inclusion classes of 25-29 kids to differentiated classrooms with a maximum of 12 kids to 1 teacher. This year my sons Spanish class has 7 kids. The amount of attention my kids get and how much feedback they get on their work is incredible. It's impossible to slip through the cracks.

Our small private school sends more kids to Ivy league schools each year than the entire public school system we are mapped to. It also shows in our average SAT scores which are way higher than our local GS8 rated public even if you control for and pull out the FARMS and ELA kids.

Private school kids are no smarter, but the individualized learning and focused classes go a long way.

Again uiy must not live in dc because publics are wiping the floor with admits to IVY plus Stanford MIT

Well yeah - if we weren’t paying $40k for tuition we would use it for a nicer house or nicer vacations. There is always a trade off, unless you are very wealthy. But we value the school more than we value a nice house or vacation, so that is how we spend our money. There are plenty of other people at our school whose incomes are near ours - two income families with a teacher and a pediatrician, or a nurse and a fed, etc. My kid knows we have more money than 99% of the world and 90% of the US, even if we do have less money than many of his classmates. It’s never been an issue.

Hey, are you me? Same in every respect except that we made 100K when we started, and our school is 30

We live very modestly, and our kid’s school is our big extravagance. Worth every penny.

A fool and his money are soon parted

Excuse me sir but I have not posted on this thread before. I just think it's funny people on this site chastise people making 300k for buying an 80k car and then turn around and do dumb crap like spent 30k on a charlatan school when they're nearly making poverty wages

Public schools are mopping the floor with privates in the DC area

There is no income that would convince me to send kids to private school.

That’s not my experience. But a LOT of people have grandparents footing the bill.

Then their income is $300k + 4/3(40k*count(kids)) not $300k (since this income is not taxed, that's the 4/3).
