[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder this too. I live in a very Catholic neighborhood where most families have at least 3 kids. All send their kids to Gonzaga, Prep, Stone Ridge or Visi. There are lots of young families in recently purchased $2 million homes. None of the moms work. All dads seem to be in real estate or construction. I guess those are more lucrative than I thought.

It's mommy and daddy money.  Visi has many of the unemployed moms.  Stone Ridge has a lot more accomplished moms, i.e., lawyers, judges, doctors, finance, etc. if that makes a difference to you. But you can also make quite a bit in real estate or "construction" (also known being hired into Daddy's business). You will find much less of this type of thing at the Big 3 schools than at the Catholic schools.[/quote]

What "type of thing" are you talking about?   My [b]DH[/b] goes to VISI and there are many moms with "accomplished" jobs and as far as I know people who can pay for their own children's HS as well as those with financial aid etc.. Why would any of this matter v.s the question of whether OP can get aid to cover what she is comfortable spending and what the school is like for the kids[/quote]

Umm, let's figure out why your DH "goes to Visi" - why is a grown man attending an all girls high school?  People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.  [/quote]
