And those privates school is not in DMV area, and most likely not your kid private school.
Privates Ivy feeder HS is mostly in the northeast/NY area, they are highly selective boarding school.
And just pick a random private school here will not give you better chance to ivy.

Sidwell is definitely an Ivy+ feeder. They’re sending approximately 30% of the grade to Ivy+ universities this year. When you’re sending 30-35% of your students, every year, to 12 of the most highly selective universities in the country, you’re a feeder school.

Pp is a moron. All of the big3 are feeders. It’s just shocking to me that parents actually truly believe otherwise. Whatever.

LOL
No, they are not.
The Ivy feeders are schools like Boston Latin, Phillips Academy, Stuy, Exeter, Lawrenceville, Harvard Westlake, Bronx sciences etc...

In my opinion, any school that regularly sends at least one kid to every Ivy every year is an Ivy Feeder
Sidwell fits comfortably into this definition.

Schools like Lawrenceville and Boston Latin predominantly send their kid to a single Ivy.
Lawrenceville without Princeton would look much worse than Sidwell without Princeton.
Same for Boston Latin without Harvard.
But maybe that is what you mean by feeder, their students get in when they wouldn't have gotten in from another high school.

Are you sure you are comfortable by that definition? Then many public HS in UMC area here will fit that definition, for sure like W schools, Langley, McLean, Oakton HS.

Yes. I think so. If you reliably send a student to every ivy every year, then I think you are an ivy feeder. You are on their radar and they have heard of your school. You may not be Exeter or Stuyvesant but they know your school produces good applicants and that means they will take you a bit more seriously.

None of those schools reliably send a kid to every ivy every year. They do great but they are just in that big group of schools that regularly send some kids to top schools but frequently send none to any particular school.
They usually miss one of HPY.

If you want to be a feeder, you need to send at least 10% to Ivy+ don't you?

I think Ivy "feeders" are schools that send 20%+ of the class to Ivies plus Stanford and MIT each year. In the DMV that includes Sidwell, STA, probably NCS.

“Basic” being the key word in this comment.

.

Roughly 90% of children in US attend public school. Roughly 10% private school.

Roughly 60% of Ivy+ is public school. Roughly 40% is private.

And as we all know, the population of students who attend private school is identical to the population of students who attend public school. Their parents have the same education and income, they have the same average SAT scores, and they go to college at exactly the same rates. That’s how we can be sure that it’s the private high schools that make the difference, and not any of those other factors.

What a words of salad.
I hope this is sarcastic.

Good words of salad above indeed. Few on here seem to get those leaves.

Could you please define “Ivy feeder,” just so we know what you are talking about? You clearly don’t mean “schools that only send students to Ivies” or even “schools that send most of their students to Ivies.” So what does it mean, to you?

https://orieladmissions.com/class-of-2030-acceptance-rates-by-high-school-feeder-schools/

By that definition (“place 25% to 40% of graduates at Ivy League and top-10 universities”), Sidwell is a feeder, though. It’s not mentioned on the web site because that’s a marketing site for a New York based company, but it falls within the definition they use.

Whatever makes you sleep good at night.

Sidwell the sexiest

Had a good friend who worked in admissions at an Ivy and went to one as well. This is not right at all.
