re: Has anyone seen this list of Catholic school tuition in NOLA?

private school in Jackson, MS costs:
Jackson Academy: 9-12 $13380
Jackson Prep: 9-12 $13284
St. Andrews: 9-12 $16480
that doesn't include registration fees, books, etc...just tuition.

I'd imagine there aren't many public school options in Jackson

Dayum!! This is a big factor in why we are homeschooling the newest granddaughter. It would be ridiculous to pay those prices when I have my degree in elementary education and am a former teacher. I taught in public and Catholic schools).

I actually went to boarding school in high school and I checked out their boarding school prices now and was blown away.The average price I saw for the CHEAPER ones was about $30,000 or more per year!

But is public school a valid option up there or do your kids have to be a skilled marksman like in Baton Rouge?

Depends, but most public schools are legit. However, where they are legit you pay school taxes out the arse. Last I heard Westchester county had average property/school tax of $13k+/year. You get what you pay for regardless of where you are.

Dude, you live in freaking St. Amant. You are comparing apples to rocket ships with your post. The public school system in a small arse suburb don't compare to BR or Nola. The public school I would have been zoned for sent about 10% of kids to college and is now closed down

---

First off Dude, I do not reside in St. Amant, nor did I ever do so.

Secondly, my original post at the beginning of the thread pertained to public schools versus private schools in general. I didn't choose to narrow the subject down to these particular metro areas like some posters eventually did.

I would have guessed much more for some of those, it's really cheap when compared to other parts of the country.


I think I pay around 4k in Lafayette for elementary school

The fact is that the New Orleans area now has some really good free schools. There was only one before Katrina.

The elementary school(public charter) by my house has a waiting list of over 1,400. The school only holds around 750 students.

Congratulation tgrbaitn08, I can tell you are a full-fledged jackass.

My entire argument was not geared towards private institutions specifically located in New Orleans. Sadarade chose to bring up New Orleans public and private education, but that doesn't deter me from sticking with my original argument.

If public schools are particularly bad in these particular areas, then enroll your child in a magnet school. New Orleans has plenty of options and there are boarding schools such as LSMSA which cater to the best and brightest in the state. Plus, you don't have to pay tuition to attend such schools.

By the way, I bet you have a blue collar job too.

Wow, you just took talking out of your arse to a whole new level. Why don't you make a point to know who the frick you are talking to before you mouth off at someone and attack them behind the security of your computer screen.

And even if I did hold a blue collar job, who the frick are you to judge me for such a profession.

If it allows me to provide for my loved ones and offer some economic security, then does it really fricking matter?

Jesuit is $5,000 higher than when I went! That sucks!

No idea how much my parents paid for elementary school
