[quote=Anonymous]HHI is $340K
We own a house worth in the low to mid $500s in SS
We are zoned for Einstein. 
We are very happy with our elementary school.

We could afford to move from our "starter home" but we've spent years building a nice community. Very family friendly neighborhood and good commute/access to metro. Don't want to move to a 800-900K house that is not that great. I think my kids will thrive in any environment, they are smart, very articulate, love to read, and are well taken care of, fed healthy foods, in a stable house, etc. Think those factors are more important than a GS rating of 10. If we go anywhere, it will be to a neighborhood zoned for Blair as that is the location and housing stock we like.

I went to private school. It was an okay experience but had its downsides. The entitlement of the wealthy white males I went to school with...I hope things have changed since the 90s but I'm not so sure. Lots of drugs and partying. Everyone had some sort of beach or mountain house type thing and lots of parents traveled so lots of opportunities for parties. Stakes were low in a world where people didn't see many consequences (it was a given we'd go to college, etc.).
