[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry if people here are sounding judgy. I would have loved to have 4 kids. Congratulations on your little one. We did a few years at an independent K-8. Tuition in our last year was over 40. With increases I’d assume it’s easily 50k. We got FA for 3 years (3 kids at home, one SN, and HHI was probably around 150k but I don’t remember exactly). Each year they increased tuition and reduced our FA. We knew we couldn’t afford to continue. There was zero chance we could have paid for 3 kids. We are Jewish so a parochial school was not an option. However we do know many families who have shared that they give large sibling discounts and tuition is already reasonable compared to non-religious privates. You might want to consider only placing your oldest in private to save money since the HS seems to be the biggest concern. [/quote]

I realized my post is unclear. We could only afford private for one child so we did it for the child who needed it most at that moment in time.[/quote]
