[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My general impression is that the families at Nysmith are significantly less wealthy than the families at the top DC privates, by and large. This is in part the location, and in part the fact that Nysmith tuition is about half the tuition of top DC privates.

There's a fair chunk of dual-income professional families -- meaning, generally, engineers and individual-contributor STEM folks, not so much the lawyer crowd that dominates top DC privates. In other words, both parents together generally make significantly less than one lawyer. Think "comfortable" but not "wealthy". I don't think the school is any more diverse than a typical Loudoun County public school, though.

Your "general impression would be wrong then.  (a) Nysmith tuition is about $40k/yr so it is on par with DC area tuition and (b) there are plenty of. very well off people (see supercars in pick up line including star athletes, large company CEOs, famous musicians, etc amongst the parents in addition to the doctor/lawyer/IT CEO/ federal contractor CEO combination that you would find in NoVA.  There are plenty of stay at home moms/dads and early retired parents who dont need to work as well.

People in DC proper really have no clue about the other 1.5Million people about 20 miles west of DC.

+ 1000 Tuition is right at 40K.  We just signed next years contract.
