flu, it seems like you’re getting way ahead of yourself here. Unless you want your child to have a religious education, private school is completely unnecessary until the student reaches 9th grade. CSU AND CU are now factoring in the 9th grade transcripts along with 10th and 11th grade for admission purposes.
Spending exorbitant amounts on a private education BEFORE 9th grade is a huge waste of $$, IMO.
