[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools compete by offering progressively more expensive "services" which go far beyond providing a solid college preparation. You are paying for those "services" like multiple sports teams, performing arts course, travel budgets to exotic places, etc. These schools become a status symbol and less a cost effective place to prepare the students for college. [b]My son went to a prep school in NJ that cost less than $15K/year[/b] and a third of the class went to the top 2% colleges. Sports were bare bones and the curriculum focused on non exotic subjects matter and small classes. Parents here did not want to pay extra for the bourgeois acoutrements only for the important academics.[/quote] Let me guess, St Peter's Prep? I'm not aware of any NJ independent prep schools that charge under 28k.[/quote]
