[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that private school is for families with 800k+ HHI. I know that in ten years children will be mostly attending the same schools and in twenty years most of them will be working at the same places making similar salaries. But both child and I LOVE the school. We are a fed family so making 300s. Market has bumped up our retirement to 1m and brokerage to another 1m. Some 529 that can also be tapped. Home is almost paid off and 2 investment properties. Can we afford 60k tuition and fees for 4 years for one child? Obviously no FA. [/quote]

OP, I really believe you should think twice about private school. Everyone that sends their kids to one openly talks about more opportunity, better education, fewer distractions, and more comfortable alignment with upper class families. The reality is, however, that most of those same people are actually using private school as an opportunity to isolate their children from people of color and low income students. It is truly saddening to me that we still live in a society that practices such obvious discrimination in a deceptively concealed manner. Is this the person you want to be, OP? Please rise above it and take the higher ground. [/quote]

Private schools have more diversity than public schools in wealthy enclaves.  [/quote]
