Do you think that $18,000 a year for 7th graders is way too expensive?

Question

There is this school in my town that even if you are a 3 year old going to pre school there it is about 8,000 dollars a year! It is a K-12 private school(DUHH!)But i know this girl who goes there and every grade it goes up just a little bit more. Tell me if you think that is really expensive or cheap compared to your school. Please don't tell me about your college. And if you go to a private school tell me how much you pay a year. I went to a boarding school out of state one yeat and it was 5,500 a year. we could barely afford that! Keep in mind this school is not overnite either. Just a day school like most schools. Okay i will stop talking!

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Its depends on the school. Private school can charge any amount that they wish.

Answer 4

Jesus Christ! College costs that much!  

Answer 5

Do I think it is expensive?  Yes.  Are schools getting it?  Yes.  

I went to a all girls catholic school for high school.  Before you think it was awful it wasn't.  It was a day school, and when I went it is around $4,000 (more than what I paid for my first year at a local public college).  Now, 20 years later it is close to $16,000 for the high school.  I'm not sure what they are getting at the middle school, or elementary school levels.  But people will pay the price, whatever it is, because the school has an amazing reputation and educational system (one of the only catholic schools in the country to get a presidential award two years in a row).  Some of the girls from the school go on to do some pretty amazing things.  Most parents are alumnae.  However, if the price keeps going up as it is there is no way on God's green earth that I could send my daughter, who is going into 1st grade, there for high school!

Answer 6

Yes that is way too much.

Answer 8

$18,000? Wow. All private schools I have looked into for 7th grade were only about $13,000. Seriously, $8000 for preschool? It must be the best school in the world. Seriously. Preschool should be like...$2,000. At the most.  

Answer 9

yes you could save that money for college.

public school isn't that bad you just need to hang out with the good people not the gang related etc.

Answer 10

Wow, that's expensive. I go to a Catholic school and it's only $150 a year!

Answer 11

i go to a private school and it is 8,000 a year. no matter what grade you are going into

Answer 12

I went to a catholic school it was 4g's a year. I went from pre-k until 6th grade. I had the best school experience ever. But, I would never go for high school. I would like a high school with variety. It was a good education. When I went to a public school for 7th grade, I knew half the **** that they were already teaching

P.S I'm from N.Y (not the city)
