[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So John, with Seneca probably closing and Barnesville having administration problems, what would be your choice for a down to earth, relatively affordable (say, $30K or under per year) Montgomery County private school?

I fear I can't help you here...clearly I have a positive bias toward Barnesville and wouldn't characterize it as you have, and also, I've been away long enough that I haven't the foggiest idea of what going tuition rates are.  For example, I've deeply respected the program and leadership at Green Acres, but a quick glance of their website revealed to me that their tuition isn't in the range you're seeking.  I wish you well in the search!

Thank you! We will look at Barnesville to make a decision for ourselves, but are worried about how low the enrollment is, and whether that's an indication that folks are uneasy with it.

As for Green Acres, we love the philosophy of the school, but it's hard to justify such a high price tag. [/quote]

I am a current Green Acres parent.  Please take a look at the school.  It is so worth the money, especially now with the remote learning going on. I have been incredibly impressed by the learning that is happening at all the grade levels. [/quote]

We will look at it. I think what we struggle with is just that it's higher than most of the other schools in the area, especially for the lower grades. At $39K for 2-8th grade, that's more in line with high school tuition, as opposed to elementary school. I'd want to see really where we're getting the extra value above, say, Norwood, which charges $33-38K for those grade levels. [/quote]
