[quote=Anonymous]DH and I both went to public schools (in different parts of the country). I felt kind of "rich" in my public school because, I now realize, we lived a lower middle class area even though my family was firmly middle class. I had a good experience in high school. My DH felt kind of "poor" in his public high school because they were lower middle class in a high income school district. He is a relatively confident guy, but that high school experience seems to have been an unpleasant memory for his younger sister (who was conscious of not being able to afford the Guess and Benetton clothes that were in style at the time.) I've heard her mention it a few times over the years, and so it seems to have made an impression on her. In a nutshell, I think it's ideal to go a school where you are at least in the middle of the pack in terms of income, ideally someone higher than average. Like it or not, kids don't love being on the poor end of things at a school.[/quote]
