Sources told Page Six this week that some schools in the wealthy burbs are seeing spikes in interest from families looking to flee town.

An insider in leafy Greenwich, Conn., told Page Six: “There was an open house at Greenwich Country Day School [last weekend], and they had so many people from the city they had to open another auditorium and simulcast it.”

The source chalked up the increased interest to “Mamdani flight.” The school didn’t get back to us.

Tuition at the prestigious private school ranges from $46,430 for nursery school to $60,710 for high school.

Notable alumni include President George H.W. Bush, former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, tech bros Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, actress Bryce Dallas Howard, WWE scion Stephanie McMahon and NBA star Donovan Mitchell, who donated $12 million to the school in 2020.

Mamdani has reportedly said that if he wins the election, he’ll halt the city’s “gifted and talented” program for kindergartners.

The Post has reported that real-estate brokers in suburban markets like Connecticut and Westchester are seeing frenzied interest reminiscent of the pandemic exodus — with properties being snapped up in days amid fierce competition and all-cash deals that are pushing prices well beyond expectations.

In upscale Greenwich, the number of houses available to buy has dwindled to around 117, from more than 800 a few years earlier, The Post reported this week.

The climate has fueled intense rivalries even for multimillion-dollar estates. And apparently the spaces available in area private schools could follow.

One broker told The Post: “Many buyers are mentioning concerns about the mayoral election as a key driver” for their moves.
