[quote=Anonymous]We have a 9th grader at Sidwell. We've been surprised at how little homework s/he actually does at home in the evening. Maybe an hour or so. Two hours maximum. S/he seems to get most of it done during study hall and while waiting for sports practices to begin. We're new to the school and our child is quite social so we were worried that s/he may only be surrounded by stressed out kids who are only focused on academics. Fast forward about 6 months and our child has a strong social circle, participates in sports teams, and is doing well academically. Maybe not the top 10 percent of the class but probably in the top 25-30% which is fine with us. We've been very pleasantly surprised by how most of the Sidwell high-school kids, or at least the ones we have met, are relatively well-rounded, happy and well adjusted. [/quote]
