[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's interesting about private schools is that at all reputable ones, despite tuition rising more than inflation, % on FA remains 20-30% of the student body. Colleges, which are also have had tuition increases higher than inflation, have a growing percent of students on FA. Vanderbilt, which is considered a school with a wealthy student body, has 2/3rds students getting aid.

I attended private school starting in 6th grade and I don't think I can swing it for my kid until high school. I did the math and assuming it goes up 5% a year, tuition will be 85k for Holton by the time a 6th grader graduates. Secular privates are truly for the wealthy, the lucky few who get FA for institutional priorities, and those with grandparents who pay. [/quote]

Well said. I also wonder if the social consequences of this are healthy for the upper-middle-class kid (oh well, those who own houses in NW, Chevy Chase). Do they still have empahty of those who have less? [/quote]
