[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not as high as it used to be which is why people are wringing their hands in despair. Tuition has gone up at private schools but your kids odds of getting into a top 10 school have diminished. Not the best combination. There are some parents for whom the cost of tuition is truly a drop in the bucket but that is not true for most families [/quote] If the only reason to send a kid to a private school is the perception around college admissions, then save your money. We appreciated the independent school experience for our kids and the college outcomes would have been similar regardless of high school.[/quote] It is not the only reason but it is still an important reason. As you get older, no one really cares what elementary or high school you went to. They care about what college you went to. It is disingenuous to act like you care so much about K-12 and then stop caring about post-secondary. [/quote]
