[quote=Anonymous]I agree with 13:53 ... it is not for lack of WANTING socioeconomic diversity that some schools fall short, just a financial reality that it is not as possible as many would like it to be. Our school attempts to give aid whenever the formula says it is needed, but I don't believe they are actually able to fully honor that in recent years, if ever. And lately, they have capped the amount of aid at 50 percent of tuition to ensure that the families have "skin in the game" as well ... 50 percent off tuition is only enough aid for families that still make a fairly solid HHI unless they only need aid for one student ... and even then, private school at 50 percent off is still out of reach for the vast majority. Not much the schools can do about it ... I give them credit for doing as much as they do.[/quote]
