[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also kind of frustrating about Sidwell --[b] some private schools charge lower tuition for the lower grades, in line with the lower costs associated with those years.  Not at Sidwell.  All students, regardless of grade, are the same tuition.  The effect, thus, is that during the lower school years, parents subsidize the upper grades.[/b] If your child stays there throughout their education, I suppose that it evens out -- you'll later be subsidized by the younger kids' tuition.

I agree with your point about the lower grades paying a relatively exorbitant tuition.  At least in the upper school you receive the benefit of advanced classes and counseling to prepare your student for good colleges and universities.

Tuition for 2016-2017 at a peer k-12 school in expensive Los Angeles.

[i]Tuition and fees for 2016-17

Grades K-5 = $26,400

Grades 6-8 = $30,900

Grades 9-12 = $34,800[/i][/quote]

Why can't tuition be like this here?[/quote]

But NY is comparable to DC. Most compelling explanation is that DC and NY have a lot of people on stipends or ex pat packages which drives up demand and therefore prices. [/quote]

Collegiate in NYC is flat tuition of $47,500 from K through 12.  Brearly is $46k, going to $48.  Some of the New York schools break the sound barrier and cross the $50k threshold next year.  It is happening everywhere.[/quote]
