Thank you for your input. Wow what are these numbers! 5-8k "donation"?? 10-100k "capital campaign"? Aren't they considering lower incomes for that? I think $40k max per kid is what I would pay, not a dollar more, its starting to get ridiculous after that and I can't afford it anyway.
As I wrote above, I am not considering public schools there. Are these parochial schools you refer to in WC or in the Bay area in general?[/quote]

I attended public school in WC, it was and continues to be mostly white nuclear families. My parents are immigrants from Asia and there was and is some but not a ton of diversity in the suburbs. The parochial schools there vary in quality and should he examined carefully. Parochial schools in Sf are more light on religion that others but tend to be very academic and racially and economically diverse, they have a lot of motivated parents that create nice communities. You’d need to visit schools to see what would be a good fit for your kids and don’t discount public schools. The ones in Marin, like Ross and Mill Valley are phenomenal and not as California Marin progressive as you’d think.

200k is livable in some suburbs but not all. The reality is down in Silicon Valley it’s going to be hard. Not impossible but frankly I’m on this forum bc we are looking to relocate. My kid thinks we are poor  because we have to fly our own plane and don’t own more than one house. [/quote]
