Interesting to see the mix of parents’ schools on this board. Reminder that DCUM is not mainstream America when it comes to college aspirations/expectations/experiences for many people.

Of course there are. We have 4 kids and I know at least 5 other families off the top of my head at our school that have 4-5 kids. Kids attend or graduated from big3.

True; the parents in my social circle are a mix of trades, law enforcement, state colleges and a few private colleges.

I don't see a pattern here, which is interesting.

There is not a clear pattern of downward mobility or upward mobility. There are families where all kids go to the same school and families with a LOT of heterogeneity.

Maybe the lesson is that this sh8$t is all random and outside of our control! Kids gonna do what kids gonna do. Where you started isn't necessarily where you end up. And none of it matters.

No, the lesson here is that DCUM is obsessed with colleges and this is just another thread for anonymous weirdos who still live their glory days to name drop. There's no other purpose for it.

Catholic?

The school is NCS/STA, so it is Episcopal. Yes, I would say 50% of the big families at these schools are Catholic despite it being an Episcopal school.
