[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the financial aid goes to someone.... 
though it disproportionately goes to upper school, someone in lower school is also getting it.

Probably faculty kids. [/quote]

Nobody is getting financial aid for three kids in private for 13 years each.[/quote]

Then I have a lot of questions for someone I know...[b]teacher at the schoo[/b]l, husband is also a teacher at another school. HHI can't be more than $140/150[/quote]

That’s an employee benefit. The average applicant isn’t getting that level of FA.[/quote]

Financial aid is a benefit?  [/quote]

Private school teacher here.  We get tuition for our kids as a perk of employment, but not all schools do.   In our case, the school usually increases the class size by one for a faculty kid, so the faculty kid gets free tuition but the school still keeps the same tuition ratio as if the child wasn’t there.  The faculty child also doesn’t take another student’s spot.  This works because we have a fairly small school and there really aren’t situations where you have multiple faculty kids in each grade.  People tend to stay in their jobs a long time so there aren’t that many young faculty members with children at the same time.

Does your child have to get admitted to the school? I admittedly would find it strange if a private school rejected a teacher’s child, but I don’t know much about these schools.[/quote]

Also, at which grade level? Without revealing yourself, can you give us a general idea of where this school is?  Is it some kind of special focus, like Waldorf or parochial?[/quote]
