[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are full pay at a private school that is lower than your list.  It is the right fit for my DC.  
When you have a child that has a hard path in getting through MS and HS - you rethink a lot of assumptions on costs. [/quote]

This is us as well. Our kid has absolutely thrived at a $$$ SLAC whereas he struggled at a huge HS. He’s graduating in May and every penny we spent was worth it. [/quote]
This is great to hear. (And this success is what bugs me about pps who insist “you’re wasting your money”)[/quote]

You can find smaller schools that offer the same environment that will give your kid merit $$$.  I do agree it can be worth it...but IMO, only if you can easily pay the bill.  Otherwise, search for the environment you think is ideal but one that gives merit.  There are plenty of smaller, enriching schools that offer the same as a top SLAC that don't cost $85K+/year.  if you don't have $320K+ readily available, then find one of those so your kid can thrive and not be debt free after college. There are also plenty of mid size schools (for me, that's 5-8K undergrads) where the profs/staff care about undergrads, most classes are smaller and can be a great environment for someone not wanting a huge school.
