To support your research, I'm listing some high schools which are known for their affluent populations, mostly in areas with high median incomes. Please keep in mind that this list includes public, private, and charter schools.

1. Phillips Academy Andover, Massachusetts: Known as one of the leading private high schools in the country, the school is in an upscale part of Massachusetts and attracts students from wealthy families.

2. Delbarton School, New Jersey: This private all-boys Roman Catholic school is located in Morris Township, New Jersey, in an area with a high median income.

3. Lawrenceville School, New Jersey: Another elite private school with a reputation for serving students from affluent families.

4. New Trier Township High School, Illinois: A top-rated public school with strong academics and extracurriculars, located in an area with a high average income.

5. Scarsdale High School, New York: Located in Westchester County, New York, Scarsdale High School is considered one of the top public high schools in the country, serving an affluent community.

6. Bronxville High School, New York: Bronxville is a village within the town of Eastchester, New York, and is considered one of the wealthiest suburbs in the country.

7. Palo Alto High School, California: Located in Silicon Valley, this public high school serves a predominantly affluent student body.

Investigating the investment per pupil, the nature of extracurriculars offered, typical post-graduation trajectories, and school facilities at these high schools could provide some insight into the experiences at wealthy high schools.
