Sidwell is a very small school. Being a track star at Sidwell doesn't mean much.

She was DC State Champion in the 100 meter run. This covers all DC public and private schools. That actually does mean much.

About 1% of students in DC do track and field as a sport. From a national athletic standpoint, it means close to nothing.

She is an All-American. She was ranked on a national level.

But she wasn’t recruited by any university, so how good was she really?

She ran at Penn...

This whole thing is dumb. If you sue your school over grades, you are probably a crazy person. If you think you can appeal such a ridiculous case to the Supreme Court, you are probably a really crazy person. And you should expect the school to retaliate or at least not support your admission anywhere. If I was Sidwell, I would tell every school not to take someone like this. You can't burn bridges with people and then ask them to help you.

However, it is the family's right to take legal action. Following the due process does not make you crazy. Retaliation preceded the lawsuit.

Just because you have a right to do something doesn't mean you should do it. It is waste of legal resources.
They are clearly out of their minds.

Are you paying for them?

If you buy the notion that Sidwell engaged in retaliation, then please send your bank account information. There’s a fortune that someone is trying to transfer out of Nigeria, and you will get a generous share for your assistance.

Someone quoted it here. The headmaster assaulted the mom and said "retaliation is off the table".

All American means you placed in the top 8 in the nation.

Good for her. She walked on. But when she applied to college the first time, she wasn't good enough to be recruited. And apparently she wasn't compelling enough to be admitted by any institution to which she applied.

Even better for her. She gained admission based off of her academic merit.

Big dogs don’t need to pay for admission— they work like a banshee and knock it out! Ya’ll be a bunch of entitled folks.

I'm fairly certain she gained admission based on her URM status but whatever.

I'm fairly certain you don't have a basis for that assertion other than your own prejudice.

I'm fairly certain that the data would support my assertion...statistically, it's almost guaranteed. But whatever.

I thought her academics were mediocre? What were her SATs and GPA? Difficult to assess situation without these facts.

Based on TFFRS she ran in 3 meets in 2016. Mediocre results. That was it.
