[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And not the other Deal/Key Feeder/mostly affluent schools? Where's the Mann hatred? Why does Lafayette not get flamed despite being pretty identical to Janney in most respects?

What am I missing?[/quote]

The reason is that out of all the affluent schools in NW, Janney is the most affluent.  It's human nature for the masses to not like the most affluent.  It's the reason why lots of people "hate" Microsoft.  [/quote]

No way, Mann is far more affluent than the rest -- Spring Valley, Foxhall, Kent -- way more expensive than AU park, CCDC or the Palisades. [/quote]

Yet Janney has a tick lower % of FARM.  Both pretty negligible but Janney has a lower % with 2x the enrollment.

Agree that Mann is the more affluent district.  The fund raising is well above any other DC public school[/quote]

Mann families can afford private.  Janney families went all-in for the ugly little Tenleytown houses and are committed (!!!) to promoting their school and real estate at all costs - even when they make themselves look clueless.[/quote]

But that's the same situation in CCDC and the Palisades! Same price points, same general housing stock (maybe a bit more land).[/quote]

Right - but Janney's IB homes are closer to Metro and of anyone, have least chance of ever in the future being zoned out of Deal and Wilson because of that proximity.[/quote]

Metro proximity and IB middles do not make Janney the most affluent, which is what you were arguing before, and what you have changed your mind about a few times now. Metro accessibility and IB middles are just what makes IB Janney neighborhoods have a higher crime rate. 
This. Not going to Deal nor Wilson even if somebody paid us. Not going to metro there when Wilson gets out. Woodley park has a fine metro if needed.
