You know as well as I do, OP, that this is not why these parents are sending their kids to the best private school in town. Especially if it's a country town. All they want is to feel as if they're the elite of their little city, the cream of the crop. Gives them a warm, smug country-club feel.

How many full rides have these students received in the past?
There are many scholarships available out there, but most are peanuts compared to the actual hair-raising cost of college.

I'm not saying not to put your kid there. My parents made that same decision for me when we lived in a small city, and I LOVED that school. Just go in with your eyes open. You WILL pay twice.

+1. Just think about the numbers. You said there are about 100 students in a graduating  class, correct? Do you really think all 100 of those students will be getting a full-ride to college? Is that private school really [i]that[/i] amazing of a school and able to create such brilliant and amazing students who get full-rides to college? The top schools in the country aren't even able to do that.

In what state do you live?[/quote]
