I think you are quoting tuition with boarding for the first two.
A day student is still roughly around $43,000 for LFA.

a little more than 8k for Catholic school K-8 here if you are member of the Parish. It's a Blue Ribbon school if that matters.
Co-ed Catholic High School next door runs about 13k when the dust settles.
tack on another 3k or so for field trips, uniforms, and such. Got one confirmation and one first communion this year.
Next year I'll have 2 high school.
Should save money when they start college. (depending on where they go of course)

Yes, it is true...a private school may state that their minimum qualifications is for a candidate to have certification but private schools are not mandated to hire certified teachers.

We are moving to Kansas City at the beginning of the year. Based on where we are looking for a house, we will have to put our daughter in private school. The one we have visited is considered one of the best in the country. She is 2 almost 3 and we have to take her up there in a few weeks for evaluation.
Here are their fees:
PS - PK $14,990
K-5th $18,300
6-8th $$21,525
9-12th $22,260

public school teachers here are fighting a lost cause. i can assure my kids schools are not drawing the bottom of the barrel.
many of the teachers are in their 40 and retired from the public school system and would rather work a more palatable environment.

Well if all their teachers are degreed and certified does it really matter if they are mandated by the state to be?
They are self mandated by their hiring policies

Not true. Private schools in most cases hire someone who specialized in that subject with a Masters degree.

the Diocese here mandates teachers be certified according to state guidelines plus go through their various programs. (there seems to be a big push for internet safety training these days)

There are many good things from private schools but also many negatives. Social interaction is very limited in most most private schools to a, shall we say particular race. When these kids get to college,most won't know how interact.

I think that is cheap. Tuition for top tier Houston area non-denominational privates is low 20s for K-12. John Cooper where my daughter goes is about $23K, plus another $5 or so for extracurricular activities and books. Most list the tuition on their website. Church affiliates privates are generally 1/2-2/3 cheaper in Houston.

about $4500/yr. Not counting "donations" throughout the year via fundraisers and misc shite you have to pay for. It's a bargain considering some of the places in Lafayette.

Marist HS in Atlanta is 18K a year. Actually cheaper to send your kid to UGA if they get the HOPE scholarship.

I don't think you're gonna convince people the racial make up of private schools is one of the negatives.

You lucked out, a lot of private schools are made up of 0 to 2 year teachers trying to get their foot in the door then bolt around year 3 when they've overcome whatever restricted them from getting a public school job right out of college.
There are some advantages to private schools that may lure the handful of good teachers who truly are not in it for a salary, benefits, or job security. Of course there isn't the red tape of government policy, and the parents give a shite because they're financially invested which is so much stronger than a moral investment.
At the end of the day though, there is about a 20k per year gap in teacher salaries between public and private, benefits will usually be a whole better because of state wide group rates, and of course job security.

Really all depends on the quality/type of education you want. I went to a few private schools, and they were all around $5-10k. I also went to public schools. My sister went to one that is $20k. IIRC, her lower school was $10k. Mine switched from free to under $5k many times.
She did go to a school in Dallas for a bit after Katrina that was $25-30k. I think it was the equivalent of her school here

i wouldn't say that. i live the city that inspired "The First 48".
i think parents have a big of a role as teachers in the overall success of a school. that is what is missing from most of the area public schools.
