According to this Wikipedia article and the NY Times article it links to, "Sidwell has long been described by some as the Harvard of Washington’s private schools."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidwell_Friends_School http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/22/us/politics/22sidwell.html?_r=1&em IMHO Sidwell is more like the Penn of Washington’s private schools STA is the Harvard of Washington’s private schools Gonzaga is the Notre Dame of Washington’s private schools Prep is the Georgetown (duh) of Washington’s private schools Landon is the Princeton of Washington’s private schools GDS is the MIT of Washington’s private schools |

Massive eye roll.
Must be nice to only have these minor quibbles to worry about. |

Nah, I'd say GDS is the Brown of Washington's private schools.
Landon is the Princeton??? No. |

| Wow -- a five year old Wikipedia link. Yale is the Harvard of Connecticut, too. Whatever. Many of us can barely spot any genuinely meaningful difference among the top-whatevers. |

| Landon is no Princeton. Landon is SMU. |

STA/NCS/Sidwell = HYP
GDS = Brown Maret = Penn Holton = Amherst Landon = UVA Potomac = Dartmouth Just for fun, of course. |

And National Presbyterian is the Bucknell and PG parochial schools are the Monomgery College analog.
And Francis Stevens is the CUNY of DC schools and Maury is the Syracuse and Shepherd is the Howard. Give me am effing break. This kind of thinking is as dumb as a pigeon rodeo. |

| Given that regular people can go onto Wikipedia to write and edit entries there - I myself have contributed Wikipedia entries in my area of economic expertise - I think the real question is, which Sidwell staffer or alum added that particular tidbit? |

| NCS isn't close to STA or Sidwell - unless you are talking location. |
