[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is such a bad school, why do so many people want to go there? Went to the open house and it was packed with people. Hope we get accepted.[/quote] Because it's $9000/year for parishioners and $11,500 for non-parishioners. The alternatives are public or independent schools, which range from $25-35K. Not everyone is happy with the public options or can afford $60K a year for their two kids to go to a school with top academics (or $90K/year for 3 kids). We live in the neighborhood and know tons of BS families. I don't think anyone there would say that the academics are strong. They mostly say they're "fine." And "fine" is fine for many people, especially people who prefer the community aspect of a private school but can't afford other private options. Bonus if you're Catholic and want to raise your kids in the faith. [/quote] Sigh. You clearly are not familiar with the families at BSS. Most can easily afford private schools. We can but love BSS.[/quote]
