but I do note a pretty huge difference in the startling development of affluent young children here in the city (mostly private school) vs the kids where my parents live (upper-middle class suburb, mostly public).
this would be more due to their home life and a reflection of their parents, rather than their school, IMO

honestly it's about 50/50. One mention of your parents or where you went to high school could get you an interview over someone who isn't common to the hiring person.

I think there is value in what you're saying, but I also think it can be tough to see where one starts and the other stops.
I do think having that type of family skews the situation because they look for those attributes in classmates. But I also think that such schools put pressures back on the family to maintain that home life.
Meanwhile, theoretically, I have little doubt that really good parents may let off the gas when their kids are lapping the field at a mediocre school. Which is ok, until they get to a level where the parents didn't (college admissions, presumably).
