[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to send my DD to a specific school for high school in our area (not DMV) that costs around 40k a year. Second choice would be a school that costs around 30k. Our public high school is huge and not great college prep, though it consistently sends between 5-10 kids to Ivies a year out of 600 kids. Underwhelmed by her middle school which seems so big, disorganized, and not rigorous.

Are there private school parents on this board that aren’t letting their kid apply early decision or making their kids take into account costs? With schools starting to cross into the 100k range, our family can’t justify that cost even though we have a fair amount of savings. I don’t think it will be a problem if DD stays in public because many of her friends are UMC. But I don’t know about peer pressure at privates to go to the very best school regardless of cost. [b]I’d be happy with DD getting merit from a school like Macalester or going to an out of state public to a school like Wisconsin.

Out of state cost of attendance (tuition, room and board) at Wisconsin is around $62,000 a year. Not exactly a bargain. Just fyi. [/quote]
