[quote=Anonymous]We make about half that and live in a "bad" school district (greatschools ratings 2-3, for whatever those are worth). My kids are thriving in the public schools. I would absolutely consider private if I thought that their needs weren't being met in public for whatever reason. But the larger district offers a lot of value IMHO - larger class selection, tracking options for differentiation, every elective and extracurricular/club you can think of, large pool of potential friendships. Sure there are a lot of students who struggle with academics - low income, ESL, learning disabilities, etc - but by the time kids are in MS/HS and can choose classes at their level (including honors/AP as appropriate), they have all the educational opportunity and support they could ask for. If I feel that way on $0.5M and 'bad' schools, I can't imagine feeling much different with $1M and 'good' public schools.[/quote]
