[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, that is a low salary for the area. Most schools do not give 100% aid. There are many, many more costs associated with private school besides the tuition. [b]Take into account before and after care costs, child care on closed days, different vacation cycles from public school, longer summer vacations which equal more need for summer camps/summer care, annual giving and fundraisers, teacher gifts throughout the year, volunteer requests, school supplies, etc [/quote][/b] This is why in the end I still went public. I got a decent aid package (as a single mom making 115k so DEFINITELY apply) and tuition was only [b]going to be 7k out of pocket[/b] BUT the summer was longer, the fundraisers were intimating and aftercare was more expensive comparatively to our local public. Also the private didn't have busing so that was a factor as well as a single mom being solely responsible for pick ups and drop offs. [/quote] What was the full tuition without any discount? [/quote]
