[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ridiculous, they definitely go to private schools here. The super rich I know go to St. Albans, Landon, NCS, Sidwell, and boarding schools. [/quote]

Agree with this.  My kids are at STA and NCS and I have been to many homes that are worth more than $4 million and countless worth over $2.5.
Most of this money is self-made by highly educated, smart people. Smart people generally (not always of course) have smart kids. 
I get the relfex to say "oh, they're all a bunch of trust fund idiots" but no--I find that at these schools they're usually a pair of Harvard law grads with undergrad degrees in math and history from Stanford. [/quote]

The conclusion from this thread is that some wealthy people send kids to STA/NCS, others send their kids to minor private schools, some send theirs to public schools.

FYI I wouldn't necessarily place $4M houses in the category of the superwealthy. That's law firm partner bracket.

$10+M house and now you're talking. That's successful founder of a tech company that sold out to Amazon. [/quote]

There simply aren't that many $10million+ homes in the DMV.  An even smaller number have school-aged children. [/quote]

This. Also most people who do well see this success later in their careers = older age, so at most they'll have kids in upper school, but not many with younger kids. Notice you never see any toys outside at such houses, or even a playground set in the yard.

We have kids in lower school and there just aren't that many at the top of the income bracket, yet. I was surprised that our $5k annual donation was treated in such high regard (invitations to join comittees, etc), but then I realized there aren't that many in lower school who can afford that, and the parents in upper school "age out" soon when their kids graduate.[/quote]
