OK, if it's a faith thing, I get it.

For me, it would also depend on grade level.

For instance, I CANNOT see paying over $5K a year for K-3. The difference can't be big enough.

If 7-12 options in your area are dicey, that's where I could see biting the bullet, especially if it's one of my girls. They boys can fend for themselves.

Someone w/ kids chime in on this. I would think the differences could be pretty massive.

As in, having your kid surrounded by kids who can read at grade levels far above their age and who probably speak multiple languages vs. kids who can't identify more than a handful of colors.

My kid is in private school and it's K-3 and it's less than 5k. I am not sure what it is beyond. I would imagine its going to increase. But we're adding another to the mix in 3yrs so it is definitely going to be more money. I know in Broussard, Katherine Drexel is a pretty decent elementary school by all accounts i've been given. But Brousard Middle I constantly hear shite about. It's a dark school, so I can just about imagine. Plus its a public Jr High school, and I have never heard many good stories about public jr high schools. I won't have to worry about those types of elements at Catholic High-NI.

I used to pay $7500 a year for daycare until the kids were old enough for school. School is cheaper.
