[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most full pay households I’d estimate to be in high six figures up to multiple 7.

Likely increases by middle and upper school.

Though given this is nyc - and with the endless hamster wheel - I don’t think parents making the high end here may feel anymore secure that the lower end. [/quote]

There are a lot of families (such as mine) who are at the lower end of the range who do public K-5 or K-8 then go to private. Many of them do this because they can afford the four years of HS but not all of the years from K-12. Some of their financial situations change while their kids are in elementary or middle school so they might not have been considering it but now that it is more affordable due to significantly higher income, inheritance, or whatever else, they have changed their minds.

There are lots of great neighborhood public elementary schools. There are obviously also lots of great public high schools but the are culturally very different than a private HS. A top public elementary is not as dramatically different from a private.[/quote]

PS6 seems far wealthier today than when I attended. [/quote]
