(4,094 posts)I know of a private school in Florida, it costs $21,000.00/year, that is middle-school to High-School. You have to be very rich to afford that. The pre-school and up-to-fifth-grade those kids attend is about $14,000.00 per year. When the kid is ready to go to middle-school, the family has spent $84,000.00 from Kinder to 5th grade, then when they graduate from High School they have spent $168,000.00, and that is assuming the cost per year will not go higher on any of those, but the trend has been that the tuition goes up every year.
Anyway, to get your kid out of high-school costs you $252,000.00
I don't think all intelligent people can afford to spend (invest) that kind of money on kids school. Just imagine if you have more than one kid. Just multiply that number by the number of kids.
If you Google private schools in Florida you will find that they are not cheap.
