Guys, to be clear, it is completely ok to be profoundly affluent (I wish I was, really:)), it is just not the general fact for the Mirman population. Someone asked if some of these kids would qualify for free lunch - no, most likely not - these are highly educated, professional families - they either buy lunch at the school for kids or send lunch bags!
The concern was more with the combination of profoundly affluent with moderately gifted - it practically suggests ok rich kids, incorrect impression for Mirman which would misguide someone considering the school. The school by its charter and practice is focused on highly gifted, not moderately gifted or exceptionally or profoundly gifted. The school's name includes highly gifted in it, so it is range bound in HIGHLY gifted range - WPPSI III range of 138-145.
Again, these titles don't mean much for real life success - not all Mirman kids are leaders of the world or business community and not all leaders were classified as gifted. No one school will determine a child's future, it is up to that child and his/her family.
