[quote=Anonymous]Most packer parents are finance types or biglaw. You’ll get a bit more of a mix a BC because they draw more from the crunchy park slopers. Poly is more of a mix of finance and old school Brooklyn families who want their kids to have a “suburban” school experience with a campus. If your kid is sporty it’s fine, otherwise avoid. There are few “middle class” New York City families at any private. Not a lot of the careers you mention unless their spouse is in a more lucrative career or is a teacher at the school (which is who make up most of the “middle class” families at these schools). You make too much for financial aid, you’re likely not a diversity applicant and you don’t have deep pockets to donate. Your kid won’t necessarily feel out of place but it’s worth considering. And by “middle class” I obviously mean you make way more money than actual middle class but it’s how it translates to Manhattan and Brooklyn col and lifestyle. [/quote]
