Most private high schools are using a roll-your-own-FAFSA version of price discrimination. Additionally, private high schools have quite a different distribution of attendees (by parental income) than colleges do.
- Retric 6y agoThat’s definitely part of it, but Virginia averages half as much at 15,574 and that’s still high nationally. https://howmuch.net/articles/average-private-school-tuition-cost https://howmuch.net/articles/average-private-school-tuition-... Essentially the most expensive schools are priced as feeders into the elite collages of the North East. Exclusivity is a benefit when students are competing with each other students for placement into top schools. Other parts of the country have a much stronger focus on institutions with a religious rather than purely academic focus. Which gets back to my original point. You get inefficiency when that’s what’s rewarded. It’s not that schools can’t operate cheaply, rather people actively want a different model.
