[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send them in middle or high school like we did and save some years of tuition payments like we did. We have twins that started private in 6th grade. $500 k HHI and pay $70 tuition for them. [/quote]

Yes, we started in middle. Our "grrst: public schools only start to shit the bed in middle in high. Plus the small class sizes go a long way
 Out private has a class all through middle school dedicated exclusively to forming good study and organization skills. I have one kid headed to Pinceton next year. Doubtful we'd have had the same result had we stayed with our public. [/quote]

I’m not sure if OP is the one who replied that they were looking at Jewish day schools, but if they are, sending for middle or high school is less of a viable option. These schools have dual curriculums, meaning that half the day is Hebrew and Judaic studies. The kids begin learning Hebrew in kindergarten, so by the time they are in middle school and high school, you’d be very behind if you didn’t speak Hebrew and, to a lesser but still significant degree, have some Judaic studies background. For this reason, many Jewish parents send their kids to Jewish schools for k-8, for the Jewish environment/background, when tuition is also relatively less expensive, and send public for high school.
