Apologies for stepping off-topic (and possibly getting too personal), but is that close to the total of how much you pay? For some reason I had imagined that it cost much more, or that there were some sneaky government requirements.

Kids are still years away for me, but if I do become a parent, I'd like them to have a better education than I did.

Yes, other than obvious like having a calulator, pens, paper, etc which cost is NILL pretty much. It was right at $500 give or take $20 total to allow all 3 kids to get their grade level books or online course.
