[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand what’s so special about Sidwell students … academically, intellectually, creativity wise, cultural. Can someone elaborate I’d Sidwell uniqueness or distinction compared to other schools in DC or other States?[/quote] I am a former SFS parent who loved the school and thought it was worth the investment. It is an excellent school. Nevertheless, there is nothing 'unique" about SFS students. There are great kids in all sorts of schools around the country. I would say that SFS students are amazingly prepared for college, especially in terms of writing and critical thinking. DC public schools do not spend nearly the same time on writing. My children were strong students at Sidwell but not right at the top, and they ended up at the very top range of their top 10 universities. So that is one reason SFS students might be accepted, but there are plenty of other well prepared students at other high schools too.[/quote]
