Benjamin is over 25K a year and the "results" are not great. They tend to move into "top tier 2 schools" for college. That was a phrase that caught me off guard. K-12 is $300,000 in today's dollars yet top tier 2 schools seemed that the students were not being groomed for Ivy League despite paying big money to get there. Class of 2018 had just over 125 kids, 8 or so attended community college! Quite a few scandals in that place regarding students if you google it (vehicular DUI manslaughter, a couple of drunken incidents that cost students their college acceptances, students beating up coaches). Sounds like rich kids gone wild to me!


I'd rather send my kid to the public school and give the kid the 300K in tuition to start their adult lives.
