[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never met or known a wealthy person who sends their kids to JR.  Would be a big surprise to me.  (30 year DC resident with 5 kids.). [/quote]
We go to church up there so we’ve run into a few. Very broadly speaking they have a philosophical commitment to public schools, and- this is more a denomination selection thing than anything else- they’re from the Midwest. [/quote]

But they are not technically very wealthy.  [/quote]

I guess it depends how you define “very” wealthy but for me, having your name on a building at UM is usually above that line.[/quote]

I’m guessing not many at the big3 qualify either then, knowing our neighbors who go there. [/quote]

21% of Sidwell receives financial aid and 31% of STA kids receive financial aid.  Average FA per year is $30k+.   Probably another 20% - 30% are full pay, but it's not nothing to them.  It hurts.

Sure, these could be people who have a grandparent worth tons of $$$s, but they don't have much $$$ in their names...but for the most part anyone receiving FA is not wealthy, even though they may be financially comfortable.

Still leaves probably 50%+ that are of varying degrees of wealth...up to super wealthy.[/quote]
