[quote=Anonymous] And Friends is a GREAT school....but it is also over $16K a year for kindergarten and completely out of your way if you commute to the city. [/quote] IMO, if you have limited $$ to spend and you won't qualify for much financial aid, your neighborhood elementary is safe, and your child doesn't have speech or LD issues, public elementary is fine and you'll be better off saving your money for private middle school or high school if you need it. $18,000 over those six years would pay for a lot of experiences (summer camps, family travel) that would probably be more beneficial in the long run to education. Since we live in such diverse neighborhoods, there's also a benefit to having a child see a parent invest a neighborhood institution. An alternative is to look next year t the schools that accept transfers due to under enrollment (Spellman was one last year), but transportation is not provided.[/quote]
