... you do understand that in the early 1900s, traveling overseas from England was complicated and rather dangerous, right? And that it was also an investment of time and money that most parents couldn't afford, no matter how much they loved their children?

Even in WWII (vs. WWI era where the movie was set), evacuating children from dangerous places usually meant from English cities to the English countryside, not overseas and certainly not to the U.S. - for the exact same reasons why this was not a practical solution in WWI.

Sara's dad was really, really rich at the beginning, though. Most parents couldn't afford half the stuff she got.

Being really, really rich doesn't negate the danger issue. Also, rich British people tend to send their kids to posh British schools for the social networking, not American ones.

Sara was sent to that specific school because her mother had attended it.

About 3000 kids were evacuated to the US during WWII, and another 7000 or so to Canada. The main reason they didn't send more was that the Germans were totally cool with torpedoing ships full of refugee children. The Brits pretty much decided to keep the kids in Europe after the Volendam went down.

With that said, child evacuation as a concept wasn't really a thing in WWI, and Captain Crewe joined up at the start of it when people were still mostly optimistic that it was going to be over quickly and fairly painlessly. Setting the movie in NYC was just silly.
