Joseph: “How much is the tuition (approx.) at BYoBP, and how much is it (on average) at other neighboring schools?”
Rabbi Shapiro is quoted in the Hamodia as saying:
“Most Bais Yaakov schools start at $5,000- $7,000. I’m not talking about Queens, which is $9,000 plus. Over here we’re averaging roughly $4,000 per child. And with so many unable to pay and kolel yungeleit, who we’ve been accomodating for all these years… It’s very hard.”
Seems like they have more than their fair share of non and low payers. Probably a disproportionate amount of parents with large families and little income.
