Is Sidwell really Sadwell?

[Anonymous]

I doubt these NYC schools want/need Niche to validate what they already assumed to be true.

NEITHER OF THESE SCHOOLS ARE THAT BIG A DEAL.

Stop obsessing over them, they won't get your kid into a college that they weren't already going to get into. They are extremely unlikely to set them up with connections that they wouldn't have gotten through other avenues. They are just pretty good private schools. The NYC private school parents are chuckling about Potomac and Big 3. Go to any top school and the population of kids from the Big 3 combined wouldn't rank top 10 as a feeder school.

You guys are just Ms. Butternut Squash... the prettiest girl in your backwater town. You're embarrassing yourselves and your schools.

Does lying make you feel better because you’re unable to send your children to Sidwell?

According to Niche, the nationally known Sidwell Friends School is ranked #10 in the UNITED STATES, among “Private K-12 Schools in America.” Sidwell is ranked ahead of elite NYC schools like Dalton, Trinity, Sacred Heart, Nightingale-Bamford, etc. Please don’t let your highly biased opinion interfere with facts.

Niche rankings: https://www.niche.com/k12/search/best-private-k12-schools/

You're funny.
It's ranked 10 by niche based on niche methodology. Last year Trinity was top 5.
If you have to rely on niche to tell you which schools any good, you probably don't actually know anything.
All those NY schools you named have 2 to 3 times the rate of Ivy+ admission rate of Sidwell.
You're embarrassing yourself and your school.

Since the facts don’t support your baseless claims, y’all have just decided to lie! 🤣 Dalton, Trinity, etc may have more Ivy+ admits than Sidwell, but they also have much larger student bodies (and certain undergraduate colleges at Cornell are public, so NY residents get a tremendous admissions bump there). What they don’t have is 2x-3x the rate of Ivy+ admits than Sidwell. Percentage-wise, there’s probably a 5-8% difference.

Why don’t you actually crunch the numbers and respond with facts. The only person who should be embarrassed is you.

Omg you really need a new Urbanbaby back in NYC 🤣 it is the same splitting hairs between the top schools there as it is here 😂 It's fine, we don't mind you coming in and adding to the discussion, but we are all just moms trying to find the best school for our kids and to pretend anyone is better based on any narrow slice of how many kids went to Ivy in a particular year is all a game in your head where the only winner is HY&P (not the students of those schools, but their marketing departments)...

/sigh How do you keep getting these things wrong? It's all available on google.

Trinity has just over 100 every year and a bit smaller than Sidwell and getting a lot more ivy+ admissions than Sidwell.
Dalton has about 130 students in its graduating class.

You keep embarrassing yourself.
Just take the L and move on, nobody knows who you are so the only person that knows what a provincial country bumpkin you are is you.

Wait a minute... isn't the top 4 and 5 of the top 10, NYC schools??

6 out of the top 7. But it's niche and their methodology determines the ranking not actual quality or reputation.

🤣 you are really needing to snark babe. Trinity's matriculation is a bear to read so I gave up and resorted to the HPM monitor they are using in the other chat... they do a bit better, but not enough to get your panties in a bunch about especially when you consider Ivies are are lot more local to NYC than they are to DC.

And just to be clear, I don't love this measurement system either since there are tons of amazing schools in this country and if your kid is going to a top private in DC or NYC, they are going to have great doors opened up for them to choose to walk through.

Anyway enjoy your time in wallowing in the DC muck!

I don't even know which schools count anymore. It used to be easy way back when harvard and yale were all that counted before the rest of ivy+ became more relevant, then georgetown became important for a while, now vanderbilt seems to be having a day. I just hope when our AI overlords come, they appreciate the rigor at Trinity.

As far as the DC muck is concerned, the difference between Trinity and sidwell is much larger than the difference between sidwell and TJ. And TJ is a public school. A FREE public school. Sure they are selective but so is sidwell, allegedly. You can't trumpet and difference between sidwell and TJ without at least acknowledging a larger difference between sidwell and Trinity.

Yet Sidwell parents seem to be doing their darndest to prove they are better than a FREE public school.

Lol that is because what counts is personal to everyone and what everyone else thinks really only matters to the self conscious 🤣 so it will never be decided.

When it comes to all of these schools, we are talking about the top 1% of schools. The differences are so minor compared to an actual small town school in the middle of the country...

Stuy and BXSCI beat some TTs. However they are larger and have more kids with stories that admissions committees like. That said if you are looking at Spence, Stuyvesant isn't for you. (No shade to either schools. They cater to different crowds.) Also I don't know how schools like Ramaz and Heschel are counted, but they do fairly well.

Sidwell is superior to most schools in the U.S., including TJ (unless you’re destined to be a socially awkward STEM major at a school with word Technology in the name). Superior college matriculations, teachers, facilities, location, national name recognition, and student body. You will simply have to deal.

Aww, Sadwell is cute. Do you have anymore nicknames (based on your jealousy), hater? 🤣

Everyone at Sidwell knows these silly ni nicknames are based on envy and class resentment. We have kids from other schools chanting “daddy’s money,” and the amount of our current tuition at sporting events. We don’t care because we know y’all hate us because you ain’t us. This is what the less fortunate always do to cope.

Aww, Sadwell is cute. Do you have anymore nicknames (based on your jealousy), hater? 🤣

Everyone at Sidwell knows these silly ni nicknames are based on envy and class resentment. We have kids from other schools chanting “daddy’s money,” and the amount of our current tuition at sporting events. We don’t care because we know y’all hate us because you ain’t us. This is what the less fortunate always do to cope.

Of course, everyone wants to be rich and use DEI to claim to be an inclusive and humble person. It’s a formula that works well.

In response to the question is Sidwell really Sadwell, I’d say it’s a bad sign if the students themselves call it Sid-hell
