My daughter is in the US and this is absolutely an elaborated rumor that went off the rails. Fake news.

Which country club are most families members of? We’ve heard Bethesda, Chevy, and Congressional have a lot of SR families. What about Columbia? It seems alot less pretentious than the others and we have more ties to Columbia in terms of joining. Our DD is joining the 8th grade class in the fall.

Sad to hear that the head of the middle school is leaving this year!

This. Friends who are incoming at Sidwell and other schools have already had numerous meetups

Why would you come on a Stone Ridge thread to post about Sidwell and organized meet ups for the class of ‘29? Weird flex.

Um, bc my daughter is entering SR?

Eep! just took a look at the summer packets for incoming freshman. Nothing too difficult for DD but I can see that she is not meant to have a summer break at all lol

The MS Head who is leaving will be sorely missed. She is a beloved leader and gifted educator and will be a tough act to follow. Wish SR tried harder to keep her. Potomac's win.

How many nationalities are there? I never could really find an answer on the site nor via mentor.

I seems like a lot but if she dedicates a day or so to it she will knock it out quickly! My DD did everything for 3 or 4 classes today and it took a lot quicker than she thought (all except english took 4 hours all together. English took her about 14 hours as she finished a while ago but will work through the summer on it to keep it fresh in her mind for group project).

DD’s teachers were demanding and I don’t think there were ever retakes, but broadly speaking they did give girls the opportunity to improve their grades (eg extra credit projects that were challenging, corrections, etc). The teachers had high standards, they expected the girls to do their work in the timeframe assigned, and, at least in the honors/AP classes, they moved at a fast pace and assigned a lot of work. Teachers were willing to work with girls who communicated with them. I know some of DD’s friends took a less rigorous course load and their teachers seemed a bit more lenient, but I think the above minus the pace/workload applies.

As for dress—there’s a uniform and it’s pretty straightforward. I believe you can find all of those details on the SR site. School was/is frustrated that families were not enforcing the kilt length rule at home so they started aggressively cracking down at school, but in the end I’m not sure it made a difference. US girls wear sneakers of their choice unless it’s a dress day.

It's ridiculous because people who truly follow the dress code get teased. I don't understand how a knee length skirt is bad and a skirt that doesn't follow is good .

The required kilt length is not to the knee so girls who wear long kilts (eg to the knee or below) stand out and not in a good way. I’m not excusing getting teased for that, but just clarifying. There are plenty of girls who wear regular/uniform approved length kilts, but many also push the length limits.

What do you mean? How many countries besides the U.S. are represented by the student body?

I think they mean ethnicity/race.

Based on Niche, 63% are White, 11% African American, 8% Hispanic, 5% Asian, 10% multiracial

If that is what they mean, they need to learn the definition of nationality. No wonder they couldn’t get an answer.

Hi, that is not what I meant I know what nationality is. (e.g. WIS - 100, BISW - 70, Georgetown Prep - 27). (I was the one who asked the question)

The examples I put are other schools numbers and I couldn't find the numbers for Stone Ridge.
