[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A sidwell parent here. I have to say I like the school but am deeply ashamed by how my Sidwell peers and “friends” are behaving on this thread. It’s petty and defensive. Of course, the school has a million problems. I don’t think it has anything to do with admissions issues. The kids have a toxic social culture. We discuss this in our potlucks all the time. The academic stress gets compounded by fact that generally kids can be very very mean to each other. This is not news at Sidwell. We wrestle with it in the PA all the time since they were in middle school and now they are in high school. It’s a problem. We all know this to be true as parents of Sidwell students. Peace everyone [/quote]

I know several kids that have left Sidwell because of the culture. I am surprised as I always thought it was a top school in the DMV. [/quote]

It is, but like any school, fit is important. Some kids leave Sidwell to focus on a sport or because the fit isn't right. Same with other schools. It is not a one-size-fits-all school. No school is.[/quote]
