[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of the private schools in the DMV are for the super-rich.  That happens more in NYC, LA, etc.  You would fit in at any of them.[/quote]

Also in the 400k-range HHI with one child in a DC private school. I agree that it's not quite like NY or LA, but our daughter is definitely in the lower half of the family income range. The average student in her school has at least one biglaw partner (or equivalent) parent, and as a very rough ballpark, I'd guess that the median HHI in her school is 750K. Not a lot of "super rich," but definitely a good number of kids who have nice summer homes and the like. It's not a huge deal for her, but she's certainly ended up more friendly with the kids who are not from the richest families. [/quote]

Thanks for this. I’ve wondered this too about schools in this area, and appreciate OP’s concern for her daughter. My family was comfortable but I grew up going to a NYC area private and was definitely made to feel less-than, to say the very least. [/quote]
