I implore you to never send your kids to a public school. I still have nightmares about the time I worked at a public school. You work with people who can barely read on the eighth grade level. I worked with a woman who taught math. She would bring her math book to the teacher's lounge every day so other teachers could help her do math problems. The stuff that these "educated" people believed amazed me. One teacher told me that her house would never have ghosts in it. I asked her why not. She told me that she had a narrow ditch in front of her house and everyone knows that ghosts cannot go over running water. I'm not going to post anymore of their beliefs because I don't want to get banned.

$5,800 not including the fundraisers and all the other stuff that comes along with it. We live in a small town in Louisiana and based on the way the public schools are going there, worth every penny.

If anyone with kids in private or public schools think they are paying too much, wait until they go to college
My second oldest is about to graduate from Tulane. She graduated from LSMA in Natchitoches with honors and 34 on ACT. Our local state rep gave her his Tulane scholarship which paid for Tuition and fees. Tulane gave her a 10K scholarship her freshman year that covered half of room a board. She became a dorm RA her sophomore year that paid room, board and meal plan.
I give her an allowance per month. So basically college for her has cost me about 15K for for four years. She is graduating with a biology degree with honors.
I know she is the exception not the rule but it’s possible to do college and not kill your financial future.

Not in school yet, but damn Daycare costs are as high as private schools.

I did. Both graduated. 26000$ a year for years.
Guess it was worth it. One in law school and one in med school. Neither knocked up (yet anyway) . Both conservatives.

Will start next year in high school, tuition is right around $11k/year plus other fees and such

I pay a sky high property tax assessment every year to send my kids to a highly rated Texas ISD public school system. It still comes out cheaper than what most are posting in this thread

$2,400/ month plus fees and donations.

For those of you that have kids in private school how much are y’all paying?

No. I live in Texas.

Around 32k all in for my two in BR. One is in 1st grade the other 5th. Base tuition is around 12k each before fees, lunch, and other add ons. Worth every penny.

High school is around 13k. Next year we will start around 7k for our youngest one. I hate it. It’s so dumb that Baton Rouge can’t have good public schools but that is partially the fault of the parents who don’t GAF about their kids and their education.

For anyone reading- we did this as an alternative to private schools….and it’s working great….
- My wife and I are products of Catholic education. Both reasonably successful with advanced degrees (her).
- I felt my alma mater- where my children would go- had become very homogeneous and based on some interactions with students, and some anecdotal evidence- become quite prickish.
- Our world today is very diverse. That’s not going to change- We wanted to prepare our kids to succeed in a world where people wear hijab, people are openly gay, people come from a million different places. Exposing them to all this now makes it normal. It doesn’t take away our morals or traditional way we raise our kids- but exposes them to other things they will see in life.
-Contrary to popular belief, there are some pretty good public schools in Louisiana. They aren’t perfect, but it’s a trade off. You just have to live in that district.
- So, we found land in that district and built our house there. The spend on the program would be the same as if we would have stayed living in our old house and went to private school. Net investment is a wash in the near term. But our kids will now be able to split a piece of real estate worth $1MM plus when we die if we stay living here.
- Kids are thriving- good/great grades and a social structure (friend group) that I think is superior to what they would have found at the private school they would have attended.

No. I live in Virginia. No need for private schools here. Very few to choose from even if you wanted your kids to go.

I am a product of pubic schools (if that isn't obvious). I would definitely try my best to spend any future kids to a private school.
Comparing where my high school classmates are in life to the guys and girls from the nearby Catholic schools, there's a massive gap. Yuge.

What part of that makes sense when it comes to do anything with a church? I guess that’s just way some Catholics do things, I guess it’s better than the other things certain Priests have done.
The parishes that have schools heavily subsidize the school. They do that based on offerings made by parishioners. To get the discount, it’s a minimal yearly offering requirement. It’s done like that to encourage people to send their kids to the parish school rather than go to one church and send their kids to another church’s school.
Short story - you can still be a parishioner without qualifying for the tuition discount.
