[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parent population at top NYC privates is in an entirely different league than DC’s.

I’m not sure exactly where the kids of Katie Holmes, Sarah Jessica Parker, Emily Blunt (if they’re back in NYC now), Drew Barrymore, Tina Fey etc go to school in NYC, but presumably top NYC privates. And I bet they’re far from the wealthiest parents of kids at those schools when you take into account NYC finance parents. Unlike DC privates that have a lot of civil servants making $180k/year.[/quote]

Katie Holmes - Avenues - eh
Sarah Jessica Parker - City and Country - eh
Emily Blunt - don't know
Blake Lively - Village Community School - eh
Drew Barrymore - Brearley - amazing
Tina Fewy. - Brearley - amazing[/quote]

Ok this is scary…[/quote]

SJP’s son went to upper school at Fieldston. He is now at Brown. Idk where her twins are but C and C ends at 8th.

My daughter is at Nightingale and saw Drew on a tour recently. Not sure what that means for her dds. I assumed they were at Spence bc the aunt (Kopelman’s sister) went there.

Suri is at Wake now.

SJP's twins go to a non-TT school that has been mentioned in the past few pages, along with a few other celeb kids. I believe Suri went to Avenues then LaGuardia, though not sure of that. I think Seinfeld's kids went to Riverdale and/or Fieldston and all went to Duke. Duke has a super active program for rich/famous parents. Barron was at Columbia Prep until moving to DC. They kept him in NYC to finish out the year when Trump was elected in 2016 and they had armed guards all over the place.

NYC privates are full of old money and/or hedge fund money. Which is a different stratosphere than DC big law partner rich. But there are a surprising number of very, very upper middle class kids at these schools (i.e. $750k HHI). Which is still a ton of money. But it is nothing compared to these other families, particularly if they are paying $70k a year for private for multiple kids.[/quote]

Part of me wants to know where the celebrity kids go. But most of me feels nasty even asking.[/quote]

I don’t mind them, if parents fork over loads of money then students benefit as a whole. The less than qualified athletes are the ones I’d toss first.
The kids don’t even go to sporting events, isn’t benefiting the current students other than keeping alums happy.[/quote]
