I don't think any of the major private schools in the DC area do class rank.

Explain. Sidwell doesn't do class rank. How is that counter to the Quaker belief system?

equality - in both social and spiritual circumstances. For example they don't use titles like Mrs, Miss and Mr because they are seen to signify rank. Anyone can speak up in quaker meeting.

The PP is saying that doing a class rank would be counter to the Quaker belief in equality, and therefore Sidwell doesn't do it.

This is perhaps the most well-worn topic on DCUM. They don't rank and it works pretty well for them. I am not trying to be nasty. Just trying to keep the same old poisons from infecting what should otherwise be a straightforward conversation.
