[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking as a Sidwell parent, and has one who has had 2 older children graduate from Sidwell, the College Counseling office is the strongest it’s ever been. There are unique years when the caliber of the students + the make-up of the class (legacy + recruited athletes) result in seemingly phenomenal ED results (the class of 2017 comes to mind when ED results were off the charts positive.) That was one of the “best years” in recent memory (8-10 to Yale, 4-5 to Harvard, 7-8 to Penn, 3-4 Stanford, 7-8 Northwestern, multiple to Columbia, Princeton, etc.) The SAME head of counseling (who is fantastic, btw) was there for that killer year, is there this year. The class make-up at any school has an enormous amount to do with ED results. [/quote]

Sad to say, the quality of the staff varies tremendously from B- to F.  That is indefensible.[/quote]

If you are really a SFS parent, pick up the phone and call the Head of School. This is the least effective way to share your perspective in an attempt to encourage change that I can think of. [/quote]

The ‘F’-grade will be gone at the end of the school year, but too late for one third of the senior class.[/quote]

Why is F considered an F?[/quote]
