I'm sorry you're having sticker shock.
How much do you think it costs to rent/pay the mortgage on a building plus utilities? Don't forget insurance costs. Now pay the staff. The numbers are pretty staggering, and the money has to come from somewhere.
It is hard to afford private school on a middle class income.

Why do you send all your children to different schools?
Is this the the general price for everyone or are you asking for a scholarship? Because I'm very hard pressed to think of three schools in Lakewood which only ask for $4,000 a year in tuition

4,000 is very little. Girls tuition is more then that. My sons school is close to 6 thousand without sunday bussing, registration and building fund. I have a few kids there so they charge me about 5 thousand each. We are not in kollel .

From our experience, the Lakewood schools expect people to ask for a discount. Some make you fill out a form about your financial situation, some don't even bother. One school even asked us why we didn't ask for a discount, they were pretty surprised about it.
We were B"H able to pay full tuition for our sons, although it was very difficult, we made it a priority and skimped on everything else in our lives, on the advice of our Rav. However, on the contract each year, by Building Fund - we crossed it out and wrote "we cannot commit at this time", nobody ever said a word. By now our sons have both graduated elementary, and only now did the school just finish building their new building, so we feel absolutely no guilt about it.
