[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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. [/quote]

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

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

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.  [/quote]
