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

Then why didn’t you do something about it instead of standing there like a scared little statue? Guess money can’t buy you a spine.[/quote]

I was immediately shocked into disbelief and it did cause me to act like a statue so that is on me.  It did give me a chance to think, however, and I realized that any comment about them going back to their part of the stands would have been unheeded, (those kids weren’t getting manners at the sound of my voice) and they all probably would have complained about how “unfair” it was that someone else got something they didn’t.  [/quote]

You sound pathetic with each post you make.  Again…why are you lurking here?  Isn’t there some private school thread you can join saying the same thing about SJC or other lower private school?

Glad to see you have finally taken action…by making an anonymous posting to DCUM.  I am sure both schools are religiously monitoring this board and will hop to it.

Pat yourself on the back.[/quote]
