[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the non-religious privates like the k-8are pricing themselves out of the market. Losing students to public schools because tuition is simply unsustainable. It’s now about $70k a year for two kids in lower school with the end nowhere in sight. [/quote]

That's the frustrating part.  Even $30-40K for one child.  We'd love to go private and can do $15K comfortably for one child but there are not any schools that offer it.  Some religious schools are more flexible than others but most aren't when it comes down to it.[/quote]

They can’t do it with cost of real estate and salaries in this region. Only feasible for religious institutions that subsidize the operating cost to some degree. [/quote]

Many k-8 schools have been at their locations for decades and thus shouldn’t have burdensome real estate costs. They can function on $30k yr per student.  They had better because they will lose students if they go much higher. And then what? No funding for financial aid. No funding at all is more like it. They are already seeing people flee to cheaper options. Charging more won’t bring in more students. [/quote]
