| Our son shared he is dating a college classmate who graduated from Brearley. It seems quite prestigious? |

| Strange post but she was either smart enough to get a scholarship or her parents are very wealthy. Tuition is over 60k. |

| Very strange post. No different than someone in dc going to NCS. |

I hope your son told you other more important things than this and that he isn’t impressed with her family’s money and prestige. If he is you might be in for a rough ride - he might drop your family like a lead balloon. Happens with sons. |

It is a non denominational private upper east side of Manhattan.
Parents do not need to be “rich” Yes tuition is high. It’s not high for Manhattan and most students do not pay that. Way better than DC area privates academics. Like number two in the country ranking It has a scandal of racism long standing racism. I’d be worried my new daughter in law might be a Republican pos. Hopefully they finally rooted that crap out. Not sure why OP did not just google the school. |

It is prestigious. Top girls school in NYC. About 1/4 of the grade goes to ivies. |

| NYC native and private school alum here: yes, Brearley is the top girls school. It used to be an odd mix of old money society WASPy girls and artsy Jewish girls from the Upper West side. |

| It's the NYC equivalent of NCS. |

Do you have any idea how silly you sound? |

What sort of trashy person asks this. Why does it matter? What if she had gone to an inner city public school? |

| It says nothing about who she is as a person. Ignore the factoid of where she went to HS. |

+1 It sounds like OP is getting all excited over "prestige." Yuck. |
