[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The families at Jackson Reed are likely representative of those all over the city as it is the largest public high school in the city.[/quote]

Eh but a heck of a lot of folks can't afford to move in bounds for it.... myself included[/quote]

I assume you mean purchase in-boundary R/E.

Honestly, there are tons of reasonable apartments along CT Avenue that feed into JR.  Not exactly a cool area for renters like Navy Yard or any number of downtown areas, so rents are cheaper.

There are a fair number of renters with kids at JR, as well as rank-and-file embassy employees (i.e., these aren't ambassadors or high-level foreign emissaries) who send their kids to DCPS.[/quote]

When did the embassies stop paying for private?! It’s a major reason to be a white collar staffer. [/quote]

i think since forever. I doubt the Chinese embassy (or any other embassy) would pay Sidwell's tuition for the janitors who clean the embassy, the cafeteria staff , the employee at the passport renewal office and so on. [/quote]

Not the point of this thread, but when we lived overseas and worked at an embassy, many of this type of job (except for passport renewal) were staffed by local hires.[/quote]
