[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps middle class needs to be defined here.

The median HHI in Washington, DC is $110k.  In theory, that is literally Middle Class.

My understanding is that at say a Big3 DMV private, that family would receive significant aid...maybe even 100%.

I think they also might be entitled to something at DMV Catholic schools...but maybe only in HS.

I just don't see how it's possible for true middle class parents to be paying all that much for private school unless they are too proud to ask for FA.[/quote]

This 100%. We have many middle class families at our school, and they are getting close to full freight. And then for college, these families typically send their kids to state schools, schools that offer generous merit, or top schools that meet 100% of financial need.  It just requires a bit of effort.

Now that's not helping the donut families....they are the ones who suffer, and I will bet most of the whiners on this thread are in that category.  Just keep your kid in public if you don't want to make the sacrifice. I am sure they will turn out just fine. No judgement!
