How do you figure?

Like I said, my alma mater is $28k per year...for 1 student. I have a few kids, so it would be very costly to send them to private school K through 12 AND have money saved for college.

I see that some people are going private K-8 and then bailing and going public for high school. I get it: catholic grade school is relatively affordable, but high school isn't. [b]I wouldn't want to tear my kid away from their friends and send them to public for high school.

I'm one of the PP whose kids will switch to public for high school. We make $360K.

Many, many kids from our K-8 go to public for high school, and of the ones who don't, they're spread across the various Diocesan and independent Catholic schools. It's not like there's one school that a majority of the kids matriculate to. We're in NoVA, so maybe things are different for ADW schools.

I can see one of our kids being strongly in favor of going to Catholic high school for religious reasons, so we're willing to consider it for her but we can't easily afford to pay for private high school and save for college for 4 kids, two of whom are twins. The FCPS high school we're zoned for is just as good if not better than PVI, Ireton, etc, so it wouldn't be worth it just for academics. (K-8 is a different story; it's completely worth it to us for grade school and middle.)[/quote]
