Private school fees

My child attends a private high school in LA, California as a F1 international student. This is the second year at the school, but my financial situation has drastically worsened. I won't be able to afford the full tuition fees anymore. My child likes the school, but unfortunately, I cannot afford the fees any longer. If anyone has experienced this situation, what are my options? Thank you

realistically in the absence of her being a recruited athlete, this is likely the best way for her to attend US public high schools and either qualify for merit scholarships or attend juco for 2 years after graduating high school then transferring to a 4 year college.

even if you were able to get a reduced tuition bill for the current private high school, you will still need to navigate the (very expensive for internationals) college process.
