That sounds pretty good. But of course, at least 75,000 Elves probably died in the Alliance. And some of Gil-Galad's warriors were probably Sinda in origin. So by the time of the War of the Ring, most of the Noldor are dead or have left, and "High Elves" has come to refer colloquially to any elf from Beleriand or of a Beleriandic race-Noldor, Sindar, Vanyar, Falathrim and Falmari (but probably not including the wandering Moriquendi and the Laiquendi).
