Congrats to Sidwell for winning the championship of a terrible league.

PP: get a life dude.
Not everyone wants to send their son to a WCAC school where sports dominate the school culture. |

Interesting Sidwell won their leagues for football, volleyball, girls soccer and cross country.

Aah, yes. The world is black and white, eh? Either your child attends a sports-obsessed school, or he/she attends a school with basically no sports. Isn't it just possible that there's something in between? Can't some people want their child to attend a school that is strong in both academics and athletics? For those people, Sidwell is not very attractive. |

Umm, ok. So what? I think Sidwell would be a great fit for my kids and I really hope they are admitted. Doesn't matter to me one bit if it's not what other parents want for their kids. |

My goodness, what a mean-spirited and grudging response. It also doesn't make much sense, given that this is a 60-page thread that originally started because Sidwell's football team was winless in the league. Now that they've won that same league, it seems like it might be okay to post a non-nasty reference to that development. Good for them! My kids don't go there but they've got friends from sports on various teams there. I used to try to post a few years ago to note that they had some good programs and athletes but the trolls made it too tiresome. |

Nice girls' soccer win for Sidwell (as referenced by a poster above):

the IAC schools have a much better balance between academics and sports than Sidwell, GDS and Maret.

Volleyball won the championship of the B division. That doesn't count. |

Except that Sidwell routinely defeats St Albans in many sports. It isn't the 1980's anymore. |
