[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to Churchill at the end of middle school. My child found a group of friends relatively easily but I don't know what that would have looked like without a sports team community.

It's mega affluent. We are very comfortable but our house is 1.1 as opposed to 2.2. It was a shock to me to see my kid's Snapchat location map during the first break and see his school friends were literally all over the world - dozens of them. Many of his friends order food every lunch period and indiscriminately order extra for others. I imagine it's $100s per week.

Academics are very solid. Lots of opportunities for interesting classes. Clubs are dynamic. Lots of motivated, well-rounded kids.

The community we've interacted with is smart, motivated, hard working, and overall we are really like the vibe. But affluenza is a serious thing. Our kid is pretty resilient and grounded and not upset that they might have the lowest HHI of a particular friend group (at 450K, ha!) but YMMV. This kind of environment can go screwy in many ways.

This is ridiculous. 1/3 of the school is Beverly Farms and for parents that have been around since elem school almost no house was a million dollars. Sure there are super rich kids, but there are plenty of grounded kids with parents making average amounts of money.  Stop trying to make it richer than it is.[/quote]

I appreciate that we have different experiences and yours is more nuanced than mine but this is actually mine. Admittedly within a very limited sample size, very limited time frame. We live in the 1/3 Beverly Farms area too. And I am saying the rich kids ARE grounded. They've been really lovely. [/quote]
