[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought a house in one of the best school districts for a reason.  We have been very happy with DS' education so far.  The money we save on sending him to public can be used for other things.  DH and I just saw no need to dish out for private when our public is a great option.  FWIW DH went to private school and I went to a top rated public.   [/quote]

Either way, you paid for it. You either pay more for a house in “one of the best” school districts or you pay for tuition, or, if you don’t have those options, you send your kid to a school you’d rather not. There’s no free lunch.[/quote]

We have a house in one of the best school districts.  We are doing private HS.  I attended schools in the best school district.  It’s subjective.  There are limitations.  What it did give us was security to fall back on the public schools if ever needed.  It is a less frantic private school application process when the fall back is a decent public HS.
