You're crazy.  If they make $56K, then they are paying roughly $8K in taxes.  They are paying about $4.3K in FICA.  So take home is about $44K.  That is less than $4K per month, roughly $3700.  The average rent for a 2BR in Arlington is $2900.  So that means that they have $800 per month to pay for utilities, cell phone, food, clothing and other living necessities.  At $2900, they are paying $34800 per year in rent and after taxes, FICA and rent they have about $9K total for all of the rest of their ANNUAL expenses.  And you really think that this family making $56K could consider $10K to add onto the voucher to pay for private school?

Hopefully your child is better at math than you are.   No one on FARMS is going to be able to afford to put anything towards private tuition.  If the voucher is not a full ride, they are going to the zoned public.[/quote]

$2900 is the average.  Presumably lower income would be paying less, plus why's it have to be in Arlington?  A lot of people are paying less than 2k per month in rent and probably below $1500.[/quote]
