What? No Bentley or Astin Martins? I'm sure that if you go to the airport, you'll see a couple of Gulf V's that belong to the principal and football coach.
In any event, this is America -- people more or less get the type of community they want. I've driven all over the country and in every small or medium sized town it's always easy to see what the residents pride themselves on by how they choose to spend their tax dollars.

I used to live in the Detroit suburbs. The starting salary was around $30K for a teacher, then jumped to $60K if they had a masters. Needless to say, they all quickly obtained a masters degree. Were the test scores twice as good for the kids with the teacher with advanced degrees? Nope. The best scores were found at the private school that paid $27K/year, Detroit Country Day. They sent the middle school kids to Space Camp in Huntsville for their science project! Yet they charged less than the public school wasted every year. So much for the $/score ratios.
