You’re paying extra property tax in Houston for your kids to go to those free schools right?? So you are basically paying tuition for those schools.
Much of the extra is due to no state income taxes. Also it is a fixed rate and not based on number of kids. You can also downsize and pay less.

St. Aloysius is at the end of your street. Walk down and talk to them. They have all the info you need.

No state income tax negates property taxes in Houston. So it's a wash.
Instead in Baton rouge paying state income tax, plus private school tuition. Plus I don't think the private schools are as good as the public schools in the burbs of Houston.
Not to mention most everything in Houston is cheaper. We save $400 a month alone on car insurance, electric and gas bill, water. House insurance also cheaper along with every item at stores.

This is where having multiple kids is a beat down financially...
One kid for 6-15k is bearable but 3 kids at the same rates gets outrageous.
Several years ago my wife was in a bad mood and when I asked why she said because she had to go to school and write the tuition check. Few hours later she was fine and when I asked she said she wrote the check for our 1 and turned around to see our friend who was writing the check for 4. She was writing a check for $80k for one year of education for her four kids.
Yeah multiple kids can beat you down financially. You are correct.

TCA formerly Christian Life. Two kids and total per year is about $15k.

Texans pay a lot of property taxes.
Just asking, how much is local and how much is state?
In La. All property taxes are local. All income tax is state.
In EBR your income tax doesn't go to schools. Sales tax and property tax does. So if you pay to send your child to private school, you still have property taxes and sales taxes that you pay for schools. It can't be s wash.

But these concerned posters want their kids to go to a white school.
In fairness, I see kids from the hood at all hours of the night and early morning- on school nights playing video games, when their mother was beat up badly by her new boyfriend.
I understand why a 2 parent household that raised kids to respect for the law, adults, teachers, other kids (etc.) wouldn't want their kids who have to go to school with those kids who internalize such violence and will likely project onto others.

In our case because our property tax rate is 2.6% which is really good for Houston, it's not a wash and certainly come out ahead with no state income tax.
But for simplicity sake, most call it a wash trading property taxes for no state income taxes.
But if a person in Baton Rouge is paying private school tuition and property taxes then you're right, not a wash, plus have to pay state income tax too. Double whammy

You mean to tell me private schools aren’t about education or religion but really all about money? Wow!

At our private grade school I think it's about 98% of kids come from two parent homes and I would say most of those in that group consist of both parents having graduated from college.
It is what it is. I like living close to family and have a great group of friends that I've known for 15 plus years. I don't feel like moving away just to get away from paying for Catholic schools.

Smart ones go to fancy private school. The regular sally and joes go to public.

Thank you
Besides you can't mix a tax to the state (income tax) and a tax you pay to the parish or city or another local entity.
Too many here pay for schools with their taxes and then pay to send their kids to school to get what they consider a good education.
And then too many leave the parish becsuse they can't stomach paying both.

They use their own money to pay staff and also set rules to keep out, or throw out, trash. They don't have the state telling them which sloppy teachers yo hire or what watered down liberal bullshite they have to teach.

..LSU’s daycare
You do realize those African women are extremely rough with your kid, that place is full of violations, and they lie to parents constantly...
While we’re complaining. Don’t forget the absurd number of days they close every quarter for “training” ... or the fact if LSU shuts down early for some reason they always decide to close two hours earlier for no apparent reason.
...or the $2/min penalty if you’re late
...or the fact they just sent an email last week announcing another tuition increase.

Man that is terrible. We pay ~4,000 in property taxes in Georgia and have the benefit of fantastic public schools in my county.
I'm counting down the days until our kids are in the school system. Right now pay about $2,000/month for daycare for the two of them.
When we lived in Chicago it was $2,150/month just for one infant at our daycare in Lincoln Park. Some families had 2-3 kids there.
40K+ just for daycare plus the cost of owning/property taxes up there was mind boggling.

My son is enrolled in Pre-K at Parkview for 2018. Tuition is 7,800 with a meal plan included. For Kindergarten tuition was like 8k and with the meal plan and yearbook I think it comes out to a little over 9,300. High school without meal plan was like 10,500 for next year.

My wife worked there and repeatedly filed complaints against the African women for abuse.
She was slowly removed from the schedule.
This was a few years ago when she was in college, but that is a very dangerous daycare.
Kids would hit their heads, hard, and they would immediately put them to bed.

We are touring schools for our boys who will be in kindergarten in a year. Parkview was near 9000 for that grade level
Parkview definitely isn't cheap but it's a good school. I guess they kind of have the market cornered for non-Catholic religious schools.

I went to CPS K-10. It was a very good school back then but I don't have any recent information.
