About 20 to 1. I'd rather keep the $12,000. That would feel a lot better!!!!
Average taxes in Garden City are $15k (most of that goes to the school district).
If you live in GC and send your son to Chaminade, it is really $9k plus whatever local school taxes you are paying that are attributable to your son (even if he isn't attending the high school, you still pay for it). Assuming you have only the one son, call it $19k in real dollars to send your kid to Chaminade.
Average class size is about the same, but it hardly matters when the students are disciplined. Chaminade could have a 100-1 student/teacher ratio and you would hear a pin drop in the classroom. Same at GCHS and Manhasset etc. If you have a bunch of undisciplined, under-parented dolts in the class, even a 10-1 ratio is meaningless if 8 of the kids are miscreants.
