Actually, it does matter.  My DD was looking at all girls schools and often, the moms can drive who socializes with who and can influence the friend group.  We visited three schools and found the following:

#1 - Lots of unemployed moms who hung around the school "volunteering" all of the time and basically, had their hand in all aspects of school activities, who their kid could socialize with, etc.

#2 - Most moms with great and impressive careers but also were members of country clubs and most socialization revolved only those families who were similarly situated.

#3 - Lots of educated moms with great careers - many of whom were wealthy but were still down to earth and welcoming to me and my kid. Volunteered at the school when asked but were otherwise very involved in their own personal lives/careers.

Guess which school we chose?[/quote]

I’m gonna guess 3 - Sidwell! [/quote]
