Looking at putting 3 kids in school options are narrowed down to Episcopal, Dunham, or Parkview. Looking for priority focus to be academics. Which would the OT recommend going with?

All good choices. Just don’t run the numbers to see what the overall cost will be over the years, it is a lot. Parkview is the most cost effective and it is a fine school. Regardless, carpool is ridiculous.

ETA: BASIS is a good option from what I understand. DYOR though.

Are they into arts or athletics? Boys or girls?

What’s your point? Catholicism is what to you?

Homeschooling. Downsize your lifestyle and live on one income if you have to. Your kids are worth it. They will be safer and more educated. There are many more opportunities for enrichment and social interaction than ever before.

Not sure how much it has changed, but Episcopal use to be a lot more academically challenging than Dunham, and the number of national merit finalists reflected that.

Also anyone can play sports at Episcopal. Competition is pretty low. So if you kid wants to play, it’s a pretty sweet deal.

Homeschooling is never a. Better option. I’m sorry, but I’ve known numerous home schooled kids and parents. It is never equivalent to the same level education you get in a private school and that’s not even taking into account the social aspect deficit of home schooled kids

Magnet schools. BR Magnet High has more National Merit and AP Scholars than all the BR private schools combined.

Move to Prairieville. Send them to Dutchtown and let your tax dollars work for you. Save the money you would have spent sending them to private school and use it to help them with college or post graduate school.

Missing important details like how old the kids are and where in BR you live.

If you live in riverbend, I don’t think you want to trek to episcopal everyday
