[quote=Anonymous]YES! With the limited financial aid the local DC independent schools offer, the vast majority of students come from families that can drop $40,000+ every year without worrying about their financial security. You either make a lot of money, have some significant wealth, or grandparents footing the bill. So from any median income (in DC, that's $90-100,000) family's perspective, these schools are obviously for wealthy/rich/high income families. But, the lifestyles of these families is "typical upper middle class." It's usually a beach house in Rehoboth, not Nantucket. A $2 million house in Bethesda that might be plainer than a $700,000 house in the exurbs. Shopping for most things at Amazon, Costco and Target like everyone else. [/quote]
