As always, definitions matter. 95th percentile household income in DC is something like 425k. Many families at JR are at and above that range. So if you define wealth as top 5% in DC, there’s lots of wealth at JR.

Which is not the same as saying that it’s not an extremely socioeconomically diverse school—it is! But I’m not sure there’s evidence to support the assertion that people who can afford private but choose JR are “exceptions.”

This. We’re comfortably above that income level, currently paying full freight for college for our one kid out of monthly income with money left over for things like travel and brokerage fund contributions (after maxing retirement), and our son was the one of the least wealthy of his immediate friend group. They weren’t billionaires, but they were $2.5M beach house kinda wealthy.

If money is covered please work on the manners. Saw first hand a ton of Jackson Reed act like spoiled children this weekend.

What happened, o'anonymous vague poster. And are you sure the unmannerly behavior was primarily wealthy kids?

Sounds like it will devolve into racist statements by somebody and the thread will get locked.

I saw what they were wearing as they helped themselves to food and drinks not meant for them and they never asked nor said thank you. The other moms and I were very surprised.

Are you a Jackson Reed parent? Anyone who is should be able to readily figure it out.

I know what she is talking about - we played STA in football this weekend and our kids availed themselves to the food meant for the STA students and families.

Who gives a f**k. Go start another thread if you want. It has nothing to do with this thread.

This is why we moved to Bethesda. We care more about our kids’ education than being able to brag about living in DC

Whoever cares about what happened with some food at a STA football game. Nobody cares much about that.

And some super wealthy. But, those super wealthy aren't the kind who show it off so it's hard to know. But, nothing like the privates. Thank God!

This seems about right. Kids run the gamut - but the overall vibe is upper Northwest parents - house rich, lots of lawyers, lobbyists, plenty of politics-adjacent/non-profit/think tank/media workers to political employees. Plenty of wealth, lots of financial security, but not ostentatious about it.

I doubt this entirely. Those folks let their kids roll through metal detectors each day?

Clearly not the parents of the poorly mannered Jackson Reed kids.

Good for you. So does that mean you are or aren’t wealthy. Not sure what that has to do with the topic.

Those parents are not really wealthy. They are just proximate to wealth.
