[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell 100%. A lot of my friends had kids who tried to transfer out of NCS/STA to join Sidwell and were unsuccessful. I assume the opposite is easier. Sidwell's middle school is fantastic. The campus and MS building are beautiful, the community is warm and nurturing, and the rigorous academics prepare the kids extremely well for upper school. Reading ability is heavily emphasized, and accelerated math courses are rigorous and great. My DC told me that it didn't feel cliquey, and the kids who had been there since lower school were welcoming. There was also a considerably large entering class, which made it easy to make friends and hit the ground running on day 1. I have also found the parent community here to be very down-to-earth, kind, friendly, and involved with the school. The generalizations that Sidwell families are snobby/stuck-up are untrue. I can't speak for NCS, but I haven't heard amazing things across the board.[/quote] LOL![/quote]
