[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A K-8 HOS told me SSFS was expensive because they have to pay for all that land. When looking at private high schools, I did consider how much land they had and how much it might cost. [/quote] The land was a donation from Esther Brooke and their non profit status protected them from property taxes. However, upkeep on the buildings is expensive. And they took on too much debt with all the building programs in the last 20 years. For most of its existence SSFS was a small, simple, nothing fancy school. That model was unique and it worked. They were poorly served by recent boards and got out over their skis [/quote]
