[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny that I am reading this post today.  My sister, a GYN and her husband, an internist live in Holmby Hills, a very nice area of LA.  Aaron Spelling's former home is in their neighborhood.  Anyhow, we were comparing tuition costs yesterday as we both have middle school aged children.

The local private schools, where the uber wealthy of Beverly Hills attend, including Michael Jackson's 3 kids, have a tuition for grade 8 of $21,500!    My two seventh graders (at different DC privates) both have tuition in the mid-thirties!

Sis said that the top 4, really competive LA/Bel Air /Bev Hills schools all run in the low $20K range for junior high.

I don't get it.

How is it possible that DC privates are so much higher in general.[/quote]

Demand and the fact that our public schools are horrible.  Beverly Hills does not have crappy public schools.

Here are the top 50 expensive private high schools from this year:  Although many here are close, St Albans was the only one on the list.  Most are NY/Conn/Mass
