[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In you are someone that looks at value, it's not close. Sidwell is not $55K better than Walls. The top kids are pretty much the same. Just don't lie to yourself and say "it's not about college admission." But four years from know you're pissed over the money you've spent. [/quote] I agree that Sidwell isn’t $55K better than Walls. It’s about $40K (max!) better—better curriculum, better/more consistent teaching, better educated/higher credentialed faculty, better campus/academic/sports facilities, better extracurricular activities, better cafeteria food, better school spirit, better alumni engagement, etc. However, both schools will prepare you for college. Sidwell will just prepare you better—in both writing and STEM. If you can’t afford Sidwell, go to Walls. It’s like a bare-bones, “just-the-facts ma’am” Sidwell. There’s no evidence to support prior statements that Walls has better college admissions, but I would like to see it.[/quote]
