[quote=Anonymous]My two kids are at a private elementary in NW DC, and we think it's been a good experience from an educational standpoint. I have noticed that my DS's class is pretty much families who are upper middle class. Most families had a similar income. And there are kids on financial aid too, who are included and welcomed. The friendships seem pretty easy. As for my DD's class, just coincidentally, it is mostly wealthy families (except for our family who have sacrificed a lot to pay tuition). Some of them are uber wealthy -- SAHMs, Mercedes or Range Rover SUVs, beach houses, ski vacations, horses, beautifully designed homes, birthday parties at country clubs, etc. Unfortunately, my DD does notice it and feels a bit out of place. She still has lots of friends. Honestly, I just think that the friendships are easier when the girl is of a similar family income.[/quote]
