Where does it say that?
Btw private school looks quite affordable. I used to think my neighbor was rich, they were, but for only $20k/yr you can send 2 kids to private school? That is cheaper than daycare.

If you're paying $20k for private school, and there's a free option (public school) - you obviously have a healthy amount of disposable income.
The link says the average for HS is $15.6k; if that's a mathematical mean, that's going to be driven up by a handful of very expensive schools.

Most public schools in the US are garbage.

Or make frugal choices elsewhere, or receive scholarships/ financial aid, likely both.
Yes, that's right, parents can drive an older car and skip buying a bigger TV and cook at home and save money in all kinds of ways, and private schools offer scholarships and financial aid to advance missions of service.
Most people are already doing that and still can't spend $20k to send their children to a non-"garbage" school.
Your use of generalizations seems radically inconsistent.
The study also does average and median prices and increases.
Of course there is variability. What does you living in a higher cost of living area have to do with the points in this thread. Are you distributing?
Or just wanted to note that there are outliers that factor into the average? Maybe there’s something noteworthy about your private schools, but please add more info.
