I see tuition of several thousand (e.g. 7,800 for 8-11th grade): https://smaneworleans.com/tuition-fees

Still quite a steal as private schools go, and significantly less than one would have to pay in yearly rent / mortgage to get their kids into a good school district.

It’s a “steal” if you make California wages. For Louisiana, that’s a lot of money. The median home price in New Orleans is roughly $230k — in Santa Clara county, CA, it’s $1.3 million. That makes the tuition comparable to $45k per year which is more expensive that the best private schools in Silicon Valley.

The math is sloppy, but the point is that the tutoring isn’t really a “steal.”

Ahh, the tuition was cut off on mobile and did not realize there was horizontal scroll.
