[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a status symbol thing - as wealthier and wealthier families move into ARL, they'll shift more and more to private. I don't know why this isn't obvious to you.[/quote] And yet most families still go public. Even in the priciest neighborhoods. [/quote] Arlington wealthy isn’t the same as DC wealthy. 50+K of after tax dollars is a lot to pay per year (per kid!), even if you live in a 3 million dollar home.[/quote] I think you’re overestimating the wealth of the majority of private school parents and underestimating the number of families with grandparents paying tuition. [/quote] Sure, there’s a lot of generational wealth there. Maybe the grandparents are buying these families’ second and third vacation homes, too. 😉 I am friendly with a family whose grandparents pay for their children’s private school tuition. It’s not because mom and dad can’t afford it. It’s a way of passing down wealth and avoiding taxes on that amount.[/quote]
