@ucbalumnus absolutely but is that worth the price tag? For some yes, for some no. There are many kids from top public high schools who go to top colleges and it costs a fraction of a private school education. And as we know, not all parents are realistic, rational or reasonable. The cheating scandal showed us that in prime time.
And when I asked if parents will continue to pay for private school it was in the context of parents who want to use it as a path to an elite school. Clearly there are a myriad of additional reasons parents choose private school…@doschicos just provided an insightful list.
