[quote=Anonymous]I think the consensus is that there are certainly students that are happy at Sidwell and while I don't know that there is a certain "type," they would probably all be very academically driven on their own/without their parents pushing them. It's obviously very possible to be happy at Sidwell while also earning top marks in the classroom, but without a certain level of talent/time management/determination it seems like that pool is pretty small. If you are on the fence about your student's fit at Sidwell, and you feel like they might be getting thrown into the deep end academically (beyond normal parental worries/anxieties), then it might not be a good move. Also, I wouldn't read too much into the college admissions culture, the same is absolutely true (re: classmates constantly talking about where they did/did not get in and letting it affect friendships) at Sidwell's peer schools.
