Thanks for the data:
Catholic education cost: $3,150/student/year
Public education cost: $7,556/student/year (not including special education student costs)
We can thank the NEA and DNC for public schools trying to be all things to everyone. Now the schools are abortion and birth control clinics, breakfast cafeterias, social work centers, after school activity centers, babysitting centers, etc.
That is probably a fair comparison. Although our Catholic school costs $6100. High school is $9800. I would love it if we got even a small discount on our Catholic schools here. It is very difficult to pay for three children at those prices. But, it is also the best decision we have ever made. Parochial schools provide a wonderful education.
