[quote=Anonymous]The lines are blurred, and not too many of us worry about an elitist narrative anymore. You choose what's best for your child, which sometimes means a private i because the alternatives can't provide what your child needs.

DS is a senior at a NY public school. It's not on anyone's radar. I tentatively chose public because at the time I was the primary caregiver for my parents. I essentially financed their life of dignity and independence until the end. I had the foresight to know back then that their needs would be a financial burden, especially at the end with round the clock caregivers. Our public HS was good enough, but great teachers. I had my doubts on occasion.

Fast forward -  My parents have passed away. It was a financial hit as I expected. Not only am I at peace that I could care for them, but I'm so happy that I can afford to send DS to the private college he chooses. He did not apply to any of our state schools or other publics.

The outcomes so far for 200 seniors (that I know of): 2 Cornell, 1 Dartmouth, 1 Hopkins, 1 Penn, 1 GA Tech, 2 Skidmore, 1 Fordham,  2 Tulane, 1 UVA, 1 Yale, 1 Williams, 1 Northeastern, plus 2 seniors recruited with full scholarships and 2 juniors recruited with full scholarships for 2022 admit. Didn't even know this was a thing!
