[quote=Anonymous]I think (hope) they cap it at $40k and or raise the threshold for qualifying for aid. I send both my kids to private and will continue to do so until they are in 8th grade. Our zoned public school is decent with good academics, but it's only downfall is that it is HUGE. Class sizes are out of control and one of my kids will most likely get lost in the system. To be honest, other than Sidwell or St. Albans, I don't think the highschools in the DMV are worth $45k plus. We are considering boarding school as they offer superior academics and many of them offer aid to households making more than $250K. I have friends at privates in NYC and yes they are $46k per year, but their kids are getting a stellar education in top notch facilities. I toured st stephens in alexandria and did not feel the price tag provided that much in return. Some of these schools have every right to charge 45 or 50K, but some local privates are just price gouging. [/quote]
