[quote=Anonymous]I would not. We’re already zoned for a HS that skews wealthier and whiter than I prefer - we were rezoned after buying our home. I think there is value in having neighborhood friends the kids can walk to. I think there is value in going to school with “normal” people. Even $1M a year is not so insanely wealthy that my kids won’t go to college and get normal jobs. I want my kids to be prepared for college AND prepared to succeed in their workplace and community with a wide range of people from different backgrounds and different abilities. Sure there are poor and non-white kids in private school, but they are there because they are talented and their parents value education. That’s not the real world. That’s Lake Woebegone.

If I made $1M, I would keep my kids in our decent but not amazing public school and spend whatever I needed to to augment it. Tutors, private college advisor, lessons and coaches for their sports / hobbies, trips. Kid takes French, we’d vacation in France. Kid is rowing crew, we’d buy the school some nice boats. [/quote]
