<p>No, the under $15,000 schools are NOT parochial schools. Well, many of the school do have a chapel on campus and require the students to attend from time to time, but it mostly these schools are considered college prep. You have to take one semester course on the Bible to graduate. </p>
<p>The school my kids attend has about 200 in the graduating class & ends up with about 50+ National Merit commended, SF or Finalists every year. They do end up at an impressive range of schools, including some every year that go to ivies, many at USC & USantaClara, UWashington. Most go to the West Coast, but a good number go East as well & some are in the middle. They have quite a few PhDs on their faculty & son’s smallest class has 3 (AP Computers B). Largest class other than Band generally has 20 or fewer students.</p>
<p>The school collects each student’s completed college application & adds the profile, transcript & letter from the GC & sends it off to the colleges. They do have good relationships with all the colleges.</p>
<p>The parochial schools in our state are less expensive that the one my kids attend, but never investigated it since my kids refused to consider attending (would have preferred public over parochial–NOT very religous).</p>
<p>Not sure what an “average” house in HI is any more. When we bought our home in 1990, 40-50 year-old modest houses in OK neighborhoods @ 1300 sq. ft. were going for about $500,000+. Since the latest crazy super-heated market, I think the range is MUCH higher now. Rentals have increased from $1000 for a one bedroom last year to $1500 this year!</p>
