[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh man . . . I walked away from thus thread for a few hours and look what happened. Anyway, my kid goes to HM, and neither DH nor I are tycoons. We know plenty of kids from his private K-8 who chose SHSAT schools (and Beacon and Laguardia) over private high schools. I have yet to hear of any who regretted that choice.[/quote]

Horace Mann tuition is $64K a year. You don't have to be a tycoon but to live in NYC and sent your kid to HM, you are still a pretty successful person. Reddit OP has 3 kids. Paying $200K combined for school tuition annually isn't feasible, even for a $850K earner. She totally gets this, but she is sucked into her Big Law bubble where she is comparing herself to all the other partners who do send their kids to private. But they probably don't have 3 kids, maybe a partner who also makes good money, potentially rich parents, and maybe bought property sooner. I don't have any sympathy for her but she can complain.

The full pay students are overwhelmingly rich by any reasonable standard. The financial aid students are often for diversity, they are not for typical middle or upper middle class city residents. Those go to Stuyvesant. [/quote]
