*sigh*
Do you? Clearly not, for your English is atrocious. I'm probably about your age - 14ish, yes? I attend public school.
And yes, generally, the wealthy attend private schools. After all, it COSTS to get in!

It depends on the school, and some private schools offer scholarships. There are also ways to get financial aid, so just because someone goes to a private school doesn't mean they're rich.
This is my 3rd year at a private high school and I'm planning on going to a private 4 year college, and we are no where NEAR rich.

The word 'rich" is relative? For someone on public aid, a family making $40,000 a year sending their kids to a private school may be seen as a rich family. So when you are thinking of rich, how do you define it. Over $100,000 per family, over $50,000 family.

Certainly not! I went to private school and shared a bedroom with my three siblings, slept on a mattress on the floor, and wore mostly second-hand clothes until I was in my teens and had a job :)
If you are attractive to the school (e.g. you've done something cool they admire, etc) they might be more willing to help you out financially. It also depends on the school. A religious private school might be more open to flexible financing than other private schools.

No, my friend goesto a privet cathloic school and she isn't rich. Some privet schools give out schoolarships to help pay if they're a costly one and some give out schoolarships just to have a students who's smart, athletic or artistic...especaily schools that specialize in the arts.

no. I guess it depends on the school. I went to private school until I was in the 11th grade and we didn't have lots of money. My parents just thought it was better than public school. (which they found out later wasn't really the truth!)

Many private schools are in the $2,500-$3,000 range. You don't have to be rich, but you do have to be willing to make the sacrifices to send your child.
