[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the PP but where do find a quality private in MoCo for $11,000, pray tell?[/quote]

The point is that if you live in MoCo and send your child to private school, you are not middle class, you are rich.  And the fact that you want "quality" private school means you are not rich.  Even if the 1950's that pinnacle of middle class that several posters like to point to, middle class did not send their children to private school, let alone quality private school.

The point is that the people denying that they are rich in fact are very rich and are hiding the fact by obscuring where and how they spend their money.  You've chosen to live in one of the top 3 or so areas of the Metro area in both cost and services.  And you want quality private school.  You've made some expensive choices.  Middle class is not defined by what you have left after you pay for mortgage, Whole Foods shopping and private school.  Sorry.

And there are some more affordable private schools in MoCo.  I did amend my statement to saying that you'd probably pay $45K for 3 kids, so more like $15K per kid than $11K.
The Avalon School
200 W. Diamond Ave., Gaithersburg, MD; 301-963-8022; boys 2nd-12th grades; $10,450-$13,000; 158 students.
 
Butler School
15951 Germantown Rd., Darnestown, MD; 301-977-6600; pre-K-8th grade; $8,500 (half-day), $12, 800 (K-6th grade), $13,335 (7th-8th grade); 131 students.

Just a couple.  There are 11 pages of Co-Ed schools in the Washington area.  I got these from the first two pages.  You can look for others.
