Gee, let's look at per capita income in the school districts and see what turns up?
From the list:
1. Bloomfield Hills (Let's just say that's a pricey neighborhood. My brother used to live near there, could not come close to affording it.)
6 . George Mason* | Falls Church | Va. | 4.365
9 . H-B Woodlawn | Arlington | Va. | 3.961
22 . W.T. Woodson* | Fairfax | Va. | 3.448
23 . Yorktown | Arlington | Va. | 3.422
28 . Washington-Lee* | Arlington | Va. | 3.192
30 . Langley | McLean | Va. | 3.144
46 . Westfield | Chantilly | Va. | 2.848
55 . Robinson* | Fairfax | Va. | 2.736
69 . Chantilly | Chantilly | Va. | 2.620
86 . Fairfax | Fairfax | Va. | 2.436
102 . West Potomac | Fairfax | Va. | 2.325
107 . Madison | Vienna | Va. | 2.302
109 . Herndon | Herndon | Va. | 2.286
The number 109 was my high school, who played football, basketball, and / or soccer against every one of those other schools, except for Westfield, which did not exist, and West Potomac, which I don't think existed as of 1976.
13 of the top 109 are in, or darned well on the borders of, Farifax County Virginia, which is just outside of DC and these days bloody pricey to live in. One of the top 5 or 10 per capita counties, income wise, in the nation. I noted Bellvue as well, and some pricey New York and Long Island addresses that I recognized right off the bat.
I went to Herndon High School, graduated in 1976. I can't afford to live in that neighborhood no mo', the 1980's saw to that.
So, with 49 more states, and the district, and a trend I saw in a few more of the addresses . . . yeah, money talks.
I also note a distinct lack of the Corups Christi Texas schools . . . No Surprise! :P
