[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can speak to Sheridan, as we have been a family there for years now -- like St Pats, there is definitely great wealth there too, and also normal middle class folks, but EVERYONE there is made to feel equal and people are not showy about their wealth. You honestly don't know folks are loaded until you get invited for a play date at their $2M CC/Bethesda/NW home, and even then, there is no pretense, just love for the kids, and a sense of community. We are not at all wealthy and have always felt perfectly comfortable at Sheridan, including at the auction, where money is being thrown around. There is something for everyone to buy at the auction (I scored items for $40 & $60 each this past  year). There is a real culture of embracing everyone at Sheridan. Its a wonderful school, academically and socially and we'd love to have you come take a look at it if you are looking for a lovely community for your family.[/quote]

No offense, but I wouldn't call 2M house "loaded," by most DC private school standards.  At DCs' school "loaded" means 10-20mil.  Just saying. 2M is about the average.  Not saying that's good or bad, but pointing this out.  [/quote]

PP, why did you feel the need to post your comment, even if it is a fact?  This type of comment ("Oh no, in my private school the typical family lives in a $2M home.") is what makes people resent the "entitled" class in DC.  Have you never heard the words humble, discrete, or gracious?[/quote]
