Its been in the ~125 range the last several years.

Penn, Northwestern, UChicago, Cornell, and (unsurprisingly) Harvard are very popular among Sidwell students, and those schools seem to love Sidwell. On average, Sidwell sends about 4-6 students per year to those five schools (always on the lower end of that range for Harvard).

This year is shaping up to be more of the same. Two of the three Sidwell students who are going to Harvard haven’t posted on IG (and probably won’t do so). Another student who was admitted to Harvard hasn’t made a final decision yet (that student was admitted to several Ivies).

So far, about 22% of this year’s graduating class is heading to an Ivy+ university. That percentage will probably rise to about 25% by graduation. At least 75% of Sidwell’s graduates will end up at a T50 university or T25 SLAC.

Thanks for the information. A quarter go to Ivy plus is about right. Half would matriculate to T20 + swap?

Isn't this kind of unimpressive? 75% end up at top 50ish schools for a school like sidwell? Would have expected 50% to ivy and 70% to top 15 privates.

Lol—I see the Sidwell haters are up early today!☀️
Post the IG link for every private school (with around 125 students) that is sending 50% of its class to Ivies this fall. That will be a super short to nonexistent list, but I’ll wait…

I also care about how they do in colleges. For those middling students that didn't get in T20, it's safe to assume they are strong performers in their respective schools? Ivy or not. College prep, college readiness, is where these expensive private high schools worth their money. Say if one gets in Tulane or Tufts and excels there as a top student, I think he will be just fine as his peer who got in Cornell or Dartmouth.

Any one knows what is the GPA for the top 25 percentile at Sidwell?
