+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]

I live in North Alabama.

So what are the parents paying for when they pay for private school like that?  A chance for a better college?  A better education?[/quote]

Typically to get away from black students.  Sorry, but it's true.  That and arguably better facilities and education.  It completely depends.  Some parents are unhappy with their local school and unable to move so they go private. Sometimes private school is worth it and some times it is huge waste of money.  You should be able to find out how good your local schools are.  Anecdotally, my husband went private when there were great public options and his parents wasted a ton of money.  They are still working in their 70s because they spent close to a million dollars educating their children between school and undergrad.  My parents sent me to public and saved that money.  My dad retireed in his early 50s.   My husband and I have both done well professionally.  [/quote]
