[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do people think tuition will look like in five years, or ten, or 15? At 70k now is a breaking point on the horizon? When do all but the most successful or those with family money drop out of the private school system?[/quote]

I don't think $70k or $80k or even $100k is a barrier for enough families to be a problem, and frankly they can't afford to drop it by as much as you might think and still keep up the class sizes / administrative headcount / teacher quality / facilities / extracurriculars / financial aid that they care about; they'd rather lower their standards and accept dumber rich kids than move to 22 kids in a class and sack the football coach and the 7th grade DEI coordinator and end free tuition for faculty kids.

There are cheaper options - parochial schools of course but also some for-profits, BASIS is in the 40's - but then you lose a lot of the differentiators that motivate families to pay for private school, and with class size expansion delayed but not canceled and the city also seemingly about to embark on a wave of new school construction, the gap will probably only grow smaller in a few years.[/quote]
