On an aside, what is that Weslyen School? They had a ball field and football stadium and some colleges would be proud of. (it was next to our hotel and we walked through the campus) I'm guessing it's a private HS? Amazing place.

Private K-12 I believe. I may (or may not) have mentioned this place in the HS football thread earlier this year. It's frickin' amazing, closest thing I could come up with as a comparision is like the Duke campus on a smaller scale. Their chapel alone (used for school related functions only as I understand it) likely has more square footage than most of the private schools in the state. Just a gorgeous setting, gothic influenced architecture, football stadium puts some small colleges to shame. State championships in virtually every sport in the past decade, several of them are back to back or even four peats (and counting). And the kids are both well mannered & smart.

Tuition is about $16k a year through gr 4, $17k for middle school, $18.3k for grades 7-12 ... mandatory annual giving not included in those figures. Total K-12 enrollment about 1,100.

edit to add: My son took one look at the campus while we were trying to find a Friday night parking space, his jaw kept dropping lower & lower, I said "don't even think about it" and kept walking
