The numbers are a couple of years old, so that's possible, but this group of schools probably still heads the list. |

True; I assumed perhaps wrongly that OP was asking about schools with mostly day students. Madeira also ranks with or above Holton, although well below Episcopal. |

No it's not. STA is far from the largest endowed local independent school The big names at the school are cheap. |

Although the school has just raised $72 million over the last few years, and built an incredible $44 million building, and is about to spend another $25 million on a complete renovation of the athletic fields. |

Precisely. As one example. |

| Good to see Holton's numbers. Girls' schools traditionally get the short end of the stick. Families with kids at both a girls' and a boys' school will usually give much higher to the son's school. |

| Wow! I'm floored. Also, curious where do you find these numbers. Are they really this high even with all the stockmarket ups and downs? |

| You can find the numbers on many of their websites. And I know many of these are accurate. |
