Ten percent of the students in this program did not graduate from high school, while 40 percent received a high school diploma, and 50 percent graduated from college to the tune of $500,000 per student. How is that a success story? Were these students tracked while attending public schools? A student attending a private school pays on average $10,000 per year, leaving the entire education cost for grades one through 12 at a mere $120,000. Four years of college, on the higher side, averages $150,000 for four years for a total educational cost of $270,000; $35 million could have provided one heck of an education for more than 69 individuals if utilized properly and perhaps with better results.
