Which NYC private school is the richest ?

[Anonymous]

Among all the NYC private schools. Which one is the richest ?

[Anonymous]

How could one know that,assuming they aren’t attending multiple schools to compare? But I’ll humor you and guess it could be Nightingale, the iykyk type of school. We don’t go there but it gave off this feeling from all tours and events and knowing some people who attend.

What do you mean by "richest?" Do you mean the school with the highest percentage of students from the ultra wealthy or the school with the biggest endowment?

This would actually make a certain amount of logical sense because presumably the stricter the school’s academic standards, the harder it is to fill up a class entirely with ultra-rich people.

I’m OP. Not asking about families, but yes - schools with biggest asset/endowment.

Ohhhh, this makes more sense. I would look at 990s. I looked at them once and was surprised how small some endowments were when you take into account liabilities.

Horace Mann probably biggest overall endowment. On a per student basis might be Brearley or Spence

Horace Mann.

BY student body, I vote Trinity. You dont get in in the first place unless you are superrich/plutocrat.

I feel like I’ve said this to the poster who uses super rich/plutocrat re: Trinity pretty often here. There are many normal unconnected families (like mine) who get in for kindergarten. Sorry that wasn’t the experience you had at your preschool.

To answer the question- Horace Mann is around 150M and Brearley is around 140M. Trinity is around 90M (the horror!).

+1 Once you get known for being extremely academically rigorous or intellectual, the class starts to attract some of the brilliant children of the intelligentsia vs just the children of the superrich.
