[quote=Anonymous]Sidwell has a contingent of parents who would develop genuine stress if the school fell in the rankings from Big 3 past Big 5 to land as a decent but not noteworthy school. That contingent alone sets the culture of the school apart from a decent but not noteworthy school. Sometimes kids need to be valued even when they’re not noteworthy, which no kid really is at these ages. That helps them develop close lifetime friends who support each other through difficult moments of life. It also helps them recover from mistakes and build the courage to take risks. It’s not a wonder that while Sidwell alumni accomplish wonderful things, so do students from other schools. However the culture at those other schools lacks the dynamic of this unique group of parents (and students) To each their own. I am not a Sidwell grad, but I am a very happy Stanford grad[/quote]
