They are funded through federal, state and local taxes. When you pay your taxes, you are paying for your child's education and the education of other children in your community. Private schools cost money. Private schools do not receive tax revenues, but instead are funded through tuition, fundraising, donations and private grants. According to the National Association of Independent Schools, the median tuition for private day schools in the United States is close to $12,000 for grades 1 to 3, $13,000 for grades 6 to 8 and $15,000 for grades 9 to 12. The median tuition for boarding schools is $12,000 for grades 1 to 3, $27,000 for grades 6 to 9, and $28,000 for grades 9 to 12. Parochial schools generally charge somewhat less.

http://www.pioneerinstitute.org/research/opeds/mrryan.cfm

Extractions: By Lovett C. Peters and Stephen J. Adams February 17, 2003 The announcement of the closing of the Monsignor Ryan Memorial High School was a blow to quality education for low-income families in Boston. Come June, when Monsignor Ryan closes its doors for good 90 ninth, tenth and eleventh graders will have to search for some other place to continue their schooling. Our sympathy goes out to those children who at a very formative age will have to say goodbye to familiar faces and surrounding and start over at other schools. And they will be hard pressed to find an educational experience in Boston equal to one they are losing. It will also make even worse the problems of Thomas Payzant, the Superintendent of the Boston Schools, who may have to take in many of the 90 students being disrupted by the closing of Ryan High. Every one of them class graduated and went on to two- or four-year colleges including Lesley, Lasell, Suffolk, UMass Amherst, and Northeastern among others. Still, rising tuitions and falling support from the Archdiocese is leading to the closure of a growing number of parochial schools around Massachusetts. The loss of an affordable, high quality inner-city school is especially difficult to bear for low-income parents. With charter schools in Boston nearly reaching their statutory limit, most poor parents must settle for underperforming district schools.

Survey of massachusetts Residents Shows Clear Majority Supports School Choice So if it s charter schools, pilot schools, parochial schools,
http://www.pioneerinstitute.org/research/policy/piodrct2.cfm

Extractions: October 1996 In July, 1996, Opinion Dynamics Corporation of Cambridge designed and conducted a telephone poll for Pioneer Institute of 800 Massachusetts residents on the subject of parental choice in education. In general, polls on parental choice are commissioned by advocates for one side or the other. The questions asked in these polls are inevitably slanted to produce the "right" answer, desired by the organization paying the bill. For example, opponents of parental choice often ask questions like this one: "Do you favor or oppose allowing students and parents to choose a private school to attend at public expense?" This question suggests a zero-sum game in which the "public" is, almost by definition, made worse off . When this kind of question is asked, it predictably produces large majorities against school choice. Pioneer Institute is an advocate for more parental choice in education. At the same time, we are a research organization whose credibility depends on our commitment to honest scholarship. With that reputation in mind, we set out to commission a poll on parental choice that would ask honest, unbiased questions. Based on anecdotal evidence, we were confident the survey would support our position, but we were willing to take the chance that it would not. The timing of the survey was based on two considerations. First, it was our hope that reliable opinion data might help candidates for political office take notice of the growing enthusiasm for expanded choice. We have long felt that many officials at both the state and local level are out of sync with their constituents on this issue. A well-timed poll prior to an election might help make parental choice a serious topic of discussion on the campaign trail and serve to better align legislators with the voters.

Boston News Media Lobby For Government Takeover Of Parochial Schools By Carla Ho

http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig4/howell1.html

Extractions: by Carla Howell The Boston News Media relentlessly lobby for more government spending, more taxes, more government authority, and more government control. They also advance their egalitarian social agenda. They have a sizable ability to influence attitudes, elections, and government policy. Theres one large sphere of influence in Massachusetts that opposes the Boston News Media, at least on some issues: the Catholic Church. We should not be surprised that the Boston Globe and other media outlets in the state are exploiting the priest scandal to de-legitimize the Catholic Church. In the wake of the scandal, the Catholic Church has been forced to close parishes, and now parochial schools are on the ropes. Coverage of the Catholic Churchs failure to report and rein in abusive priests is certainly warranted. A call for justice for Catholic families was long overdue. But the Boston News Medias continual negative coverage of the Catholic Church is more than news reporting; it is lobbying and editorializing disguised as news. This is particularly evident when compared with their constant puffing of their prized Big Government Programs public schools among them.

Extractions: Registering ... Additional Information Answers to Common Questions About Schools CHOOSING A SCHOOL How do I decide whether I would prefer a public, parochial, or independent school? A number of considerations can affect a parent's choice of schools. Some of the advantages of public schools for some families, besides the advantage of their cost, include their convenience, as they tend to be near home; the sense of community generated by a school where all the students are from one town or neighborhood; and greater diversity of socioeconomic status among the students, and sometimes, not always, greater diversity of race and ethnicity. For international families, more about the culture and values that tend to be a part of the American public school system can be found in a brochure entitled "Education in the U.S." (The Interchange Institute, 1999), which is available by contacting the Some of the advantages of parochial schools include their attention to issues of values and religion, an educational philosophy that is consistent with the traditions associated with that religion, and a tuition price that tends to be more modest than that of independent schools. Some of the advantages of independent schools include a greater variety of educational philosophies, options for specialized education in areas such as giftedness and foreign languages, smaller class sizes than public schools, and sometimes more attention to individual students and parents' concerns.

Bellinghams ethnic composition has become extremely varied over the years, with many claiming direct European and Middle Eastern ancestry spread throughout the town. According to the 2001 town census, the total town population was 15,075, and the projected population for 2010 is only 16,100. In 2002, the median household income in Bellingham was over $71,000.00. Over 60 percent of parents of students have some post-secondary and/or college education. Only 3.4 percent of the families in town have incomes below the poverty level. The town has experienced significant large-scale commercial growth over the past decade, which has created a very strong and stable tax base for the Town. However, many small business and retail operations also exist. The tax base is expected to grow due to significant residential growth and continued commercial development along the Interstate 495 area over the coming years.
