[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Truly wealthy? Not that many TBH. If you live in Upper NW and have the money, you are more than likely to send your kid to private than JR. Are there exceptions? Of course. But the majority of Upper NW wealth goes to private (even if they went to public for elementary and middle). [/quote] 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.”[/quote] wealth =/= income The families with actual generational wealth don't send their kids to DCPS high schools. HHI, maybe. [/quote]
