[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason why more presidential and vice presidential children have attended Sidwell is because the Secret Service found it easier to secure..

Sidwell may be better known because of the Obama girls but that doesn’t make it a better school. It’s cruising on its reputation. It has serious issues including a weak college counseling office. STA has its issues, too, but it is overall a better run school with stronger teachers in the Upper School.

I say that as a parent with kids at both schools. Sidwell needs to get its administrative act together and the HOS needs to stop with the blatant favoritism for politically connected families.[/quote]

This is true. STA’s campus is more much porous since it is on the Cathedral Close. When Gore’s son was there, multiple entrances into the various campus buildings were unlocked throughout the day and into the evening. The 90s was a different era however, in terms of security. Public schools back then, like Wilson and B-CC, were just as permeable. [/quote]
The Gore children were also at the Cathedral schools before Gore became VP, so I imagine they didn’t want to uproot all four kids. Little Al only moved to Sidwell after his…escapades…got him in trouble. [/quote]
