[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think you will end up having to do private school (even the less expensive Catholic schools), you should price out private high school -- not just elementary.  Catholic elems are generally very affordable (but you need to keep in mind that you will need to pay more than the listed tuition b/c you MUST contribute to the parish WEEKLY (and the new thing is having that taken weekly as a direct deduction)) but Catholic HSs are way more expensive (think twice as much, if not more). [/quote]

We have children in Catholic schools here in the Diocese of Arlington.  Admittedly, we don't get to Mass as often as we should, so we don't make a weekly contribution to the Parish.  Granted, we do pay for supplies, volunteer our time, and attend an auction that is horribly expensive (to us, at least), but I don't think it's absolutely correct to say that a weekly direct deposit to the parish is required.

To OP, based on your pyramid, I'd try it out -- definitely for elementary school.  Then you can decide how your DC is doing for MS and HS and make a more informed decision then.  We pulled the trigger fast to go to Catholic and, frankly, I think both of my DCs would have been fine at our local elementary.  I could've saved a lot of money to prepare for the Catholic HS.[/quote]
