[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t really get this. Parochial schools are much more affordable for this type of situation. Is the issue that many don’t go through high school? You can pick a private education that you can afford. There are price tiers, like there are for every other commodity. Just because you don’t want your kids in a crappy school district, doesn’t mean they need to go to the top school either[/quote]

The issue with parochial school is that you're in for a potentially hard time if your family is not particularly religious.

We are a lapsed Lutheran/culturally Jewish family. We can easily afford parochial, but not not crazy expensive "independent" schools. $400K HHI with two kids.

Which independent schools would be right for us? None that I've been able to identify.

Pp here. We’re in a similar income bracket. We’re Jewish and will be doing Jewish day school. We’re not observant but culturally fine with it, and found a school comprised of families like ours. I can’t speak to non Jewish parochial schools, but there must be many families in the same position. [/quote]
