[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another Sidwell parent here -- can I ask what you're basing this on? I know the kids claim to know what everyone else scored, but do you really think those reports are credible beyond your child's circle of very close friends? I sure don't.''

Like I said, I read it somewhere here on a spreadsheet. That said, my recent grad had a score in that range that was average for the school. Sidwell kids tend to do extremely well in verbal and reading- writing sections of the SAT which brings up averages. As to your snarky tone about whether or not the reports are credible, the scores and grades were consistent with the colleges kids got in to. You get to know the families pretty well and I don't think there was any misinformation about grades and scores. That hasn't been my experience at the school.[/quote]

Sidwell kids do well on the SAT because the SAT is highly correlated with family income.[/quote]

And with access to a good SAT tutor.  :)[/quote]

Family income is generally associated with smarts, and smart parents have smart kids.  [/quote]
