Good examples of a good school.

Also, most private parochial or Christian schools spend much, much less than public schools per student.

True—our school is using the same building since they opened their doors on 9/8/1930! It wouldn’t be possible to keep costs so low if it wasn’t for the great efforts of the parents who volunteer their time and talents to the school. The Spring Festival draws people from all over the area and profits around $125,000 each year. The 2010 festival netted $131K! When you have a stake in how the school operates, you have a tendency to be more involved and take ownership of it.

A 4.5 minutes commercial was just released on Youtube last week that was produced thanks to the generosity of individuals in the school and parish.
