[quote=Anonymous]We are struggling with this now also, with the DS in private. One thing to consider is that the “top” publics are far from free. In Maryland, Whitman and Churchill are the top. Reasonable homes in those areas 750-800K for a small, older or micro-sized home. +300K, the cost of 4 years private for 2 = 1.2, which is an ordinary suburban home in these districts.
The top publics do compare favorably to the mid level privates. The top privates completely outrank the top publics, if your DCs are of an academic type. The top publics send many students to the state schools; the top privates send their students to the Ivies and the top ten (or 25).
The price is a huge factor. 300K goes a long way towards a college degree. Also if you want to get an advanced degree, that will be another 300K. Without a rising real estate/stock market, I think there may be a number of parents who want to bank that private school money. Just in case.
If  your HHI is above 500K, then why not send them to private? 
Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts.[/quote]
