Those schools are well known. Boarding schools aren't a local thing, they are like being sent off to college.

They're well known among upper crust Northeasterners who want to send their kids to ivy league schools.

That is not "well known" in ant meaningful sense. Exeter enrolls 1000 kids. So over 20 years there have been roughly 5k graduates, or about - out or a population of 400 million in the US - about .00125% of thr population. Or if you prefer it this way, assuming Exeter graduates are evenly distributed throughout the USA, there are 5 in the entire state of Wyoming. To the best of my knowledge - and I'm around OPs income - I have never dated, worked with, or worked for a graduate of Exeter.
