Having kids in private schools is one of the circumstances that makes you eligible for a special circumstances adjustment for FAFSA. It is at the discretion of financial aid officers at the college but worth a try.

If so, do they typically treat this as a direct reduction of the EFC?

I don't know how profile schools treat special circumstances but for FAFSA EFC they are not allowed to directly adjust the EFC. They adjust your input figures (for instance in our case they reduced our income because of loss of income and high medical costs) then the figures go through the EFC formula and spit out a new EFC.
