I chuckled at the price you quoted. Around here the norm is 40k and we go to a bargain school at 19k.
I am sure my son can handle a much faster curriculum, particularly in Math. But so far we found it to be worth it, because it is simply less torturous. Lots of PE, art, and music. The curriculum just seems a bit richer in other subjects too. It makes a difference whether a child likes to go to school or not. This is particularly true in the earlier years where the public school follows the common core religiously. I think by late elementary, the pace may pick up a bit. For now, my son is happy where he is even if he does complain about math being too easy.
Well, around here, that seems to be the general range. Meaning $8K to $18K.
The $18K is the standard-issue "elitish private school with some very wealthy kids". My wife distinctly disliked her experience there, so we are not sending our kids there.
I'm honestly not sure *why* it is so inexpensive here, now that I think about it. It's not like we suffer a lack of extremely wealthy people.
