私も子供を私立にと思い色々と調べましたが、
うちの家計ではかなり一生懸命働かないと無理。と分かり、
せめてもと公立校で評価の良いエリアに引越しました。
大学進学率がほぼ100%に近い良い学校でしたので、
今、子供はメインランドの大学に入学し学生生活を送っています。
大学は更に高いので大変ですが。

For Kindergarten-6th grade, it is not as important to attend a private school if you can get your child into a good public school. This is not always easy though and you have to either live in a good district or get a Geographic Exception (GE). Some parents of course believe that private schools are the best and if they can afford them, its no problem. However please keep in mind that tuition is only one cost. You also have to factor in books, after school care, extracurricular activities, summer school, etc. Extracurricular activities start off cheaper when children are small because the lessons are usually once a week for a shorter time. By the time they reach middle school, these activities can be adding thousands of dollars every year. Some parents feel that private schools are more important at the high school age, BUT do not want to take a chance so they apply their child at a young age and get in when the application process is easier (no SSAT entrance exam tests). Ultimately, you should really look at the finances, if you are going to be struggling to keep up, it is definitely not worth it. There are many good public schools and if your child is smart, they can succeed anywhere. Better to spend time with them when they are young than to work many hours and let someone else (private school) raise them. There is no denying that many good private schools offer a good network and environment, but not at the cost of you and your partner struggling. 50% of marriages in the US end in divorce and the largest cause of divorces are financial struggles.

子供がまだ小さい頃(2、3歳辺り頃から)
ママ友さんの話題はプライベートか、公立学校か。でした。

家は共働きでしたが、プライベートは絶対無理と。
せめてもと公立校の評価の良い学校にGEで入学させる事が出来ました。
プライベートの授業料の代わりに、色々習い事をさせてあげる事も出来ました。

幸いにも進学率の高い学校に入学する事が出来たので(GE)
得意分野で評価を頂き、奨学金も含めメインランドの大学に通っています。
ハワイファイブオーさんが仰る通り、更に大学も高くて大変ですが。。

子供の将来、学校の事は色々心配になりますよね。
色々な方の経験談をお聞きして、参考になさってみるのが良いと思います😊
