[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You aren’t going to get 12 kids per class and the private school feel at a school that charges $10k a year for tuition. Good luck.[/quote]

I didn't say $10K was my maximum. I said the schools I visited.  I can afford more if I so choose.[/quote]

At no point did I mention what I thought you could pay, because I don't know that information.

The information that I had from your post is the schools you visited are around the $10k price point (and I know this because I have either visited the schools you listed or know several people with children at those schools), and I responded accordingly.  You will not get what you seem to be looking for in that range.  I added the good luck because the hoops you have to jump through to get your child a decent education in this county is ridiculous.[/quote]

PS - you did not visit at the wrong time.  I have some good friends that just pulled their children from Woodstream, and one of the reasons was due to how chaotic the environment was.  Another reason was class size.  My son went to Reid for a short time- they are extremely punitive.  I know several people that toured Reid and were taken aback at their discipline policies.  They are also very focused on teaching the kids above grade level, without actually teaching the basics first.  It is known that the kids have some gaps in their education.  They do have some decent placements in high schools.  As a former Reid parent, I suggest that at ANY school you choose, you stick around for pick up.  You can get a better idea of the parents of the children your children will go to school with.  I was taken aback at the mom with the tattoos on her face.

Your best option in that range is HT, but I think their class sizes are a bit large.  They went through some growing pains a few years ago (and a lot of families left for Key), but have settled back down.[/quote]
