See, I think this is where it fails. A similar sounding name, yes, but are you telling me a rich, presumably educated person, is going to confuse the School with the Academy? Did the difference in tuition costs tip them off, or was it the pearl clutching after realizing the school was rife with “diversity”.
It would be akin to someone opening a 5 star restaurant named McDonalds, and then people confused there aren’t Big Macs.
Ironically, before I read the boston globe article, a internet search came up with a cost of $38K for tuition for Commonwealth Academy. Turns out that is in VA.
