I would like to make my own comparisons, and draw my own conclusions.

To repeat the question:  how much is DeLaSalle's tuition?  The correct answer 
is a numerical value, expressed in dollars and cents, not an opinion on its 
relation to the amount at "most" private schools.

Carlson thinks the tuition went up about $500 and another parent said around 
$1,500.  Which is it?

How many students get more than a token amount of financial aid?  How many 
students get 50% or more of tuition?  Giving over half the students a few 
dollars might qualify as financial aid, but would not be representative of the 
real financial needs of the student body.

One other note about financial aid.  All students at Catholic high schools in 
the archdiocese are eligible for need-based grants from the Archdiocesan 
Annual Catholic Appeal.  DeLaSalle is hardly unique in that aspect.
