[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basic take on tiers of private schools:

If $70k/year is a significant burden to you and you don't qualify for financial aid, your kid is almost certainly better off going to public school - even compared to a "TT" private where they would be one of the poor/unconnected kids - and having you use the ~$1.5M or so with interest that you saved to buy them their first house/apartment and start them off with a healthy savings account.

If $70k/year is something you can afford easily, going to Trevor or CGPS or Calhoun or LREI or Dwight or whatever is not likely to be *worse* for them then public school, and having a nice clean building with small class sizes and somebody to call about every little problem is a nice luxury.[/quote]

Honestly I wouldn’t even put Trevor next to CGPS or LREI. Those have at least served long standing niches and communities. Trevor is a joke given how many better 3T schools there are close by. [/quote]

I wasn't trying to make any sort of point about Trevor specifically but simply to say that even <insert whatever school you think is particularly mediocre here> will be fine for your kid if you have enough money not to care about the tuition.[/quote]

The problem is, people with that sort of money get into TTs and 2Ts so long as the kid is passable and the parents aren’t jerks. Schools like Trevor attract the least desirable applicant families who fit the “enough money not to care” criteria [/quote]
