In the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Catholic Parochial grade schools are around $1000-2000 per child per year (with discounts as more children are enrolled). The Diocesean High Schools are around $3500-4000 per year, with a cap of a maximum of tuition for two children at any one time, with any additional children enrolled simultaneously being free.
We have around 100,000 kids enrolled.
The prices for Atlanta seem utterly outrageous and totally out of reach of a normal family.
The prices in Philadelphia are equivalent to the property taxes and excess mortgage one might pay for a typical suburban home versus one in the city.
Glad I came back to read your message. I thought those tuition rates sounded awfully high for Catholic schools.
My son attended Catholic grade schools in Philly for a few years and I recall them as being very affordabe. We looked into the Friends schools for high school. 10k is more along the line the various Friends schools were charging in the early 90s. He wound up going to Masterman (public school for gifted and talented), saving us money and leaving a little in the bank for college.
