Hey - it's your article citation - did you even read it?

That list contains TOP schools some of which were founded in the 1600 and 1700s and who are so selective that some reject 80% of applicants. That was not a typical list of private schools.

And I actually believe their claims of teacher ratios -- at least on that list.

While I accept, NYC private schools cost more than the national average - they are essentially charging taxpayers $20K a year to not educate kids.

Fair enough - also funny. I did read it. I don't think it says that other schools in NYC cost much less. The numbers are normal for Manhattan and Brooklyn now. I can't get you the weblink for every private school in Manhattan and Brooklyn, but here are two more links chosen pretty much at random. The number you will see over and over in articles and blogs on this is $30,000.
