There will always be substantial demand for these schools from both parents and kids, partly because of the "prestige factor" in attending and having a degree from these schools (which explains why those rich parents (many of whom are now indicted) were willing to pay substantial "bribes" to get their kids into some of these schools).
I do think the second, third and fourth "tier" private schools will face a lot of challenges in the next ten to twenty years, as parents question the value of paying (or borrowing money to pay for) higher and higher costs.
