That’s snobby, not elitist. For elitist, just use the tuition as shorthand. The more expensive, the more elitist. [/quote]

+1. The newly minted over $60k club:

Bullis: $61,345
Holton: $60,535
McLean School (?): $61,750
Sidwell, NCS, St. Albans, Madeira: have not announced, but likely to follow suit.

McLean School is for students with learning differences. It’s not elitist, it’s just specialized.

Madeira has never given me the impression of being elitist either. [/quote]

Madeira has an equestrian center.[/quote]

And, yet, still a pretty down to earth student body.  My Madeira girl graduates in a few months.  She had a great experience.  The other parents were generally delightful and you'd never know which own their own horses and which don't.  [/quote]

+1. Two years in and have only experienced nice, normal parents and kids! Love this unique school (where equestrian things are just part of its long history that involves a very small, small minority of students.)[/quote]
