[quote=Anonymous]If you could afford sidwell with no pain, that would probably be the better academic choice.  On the other hand, I would have had some discomfort with sending my kid to a school full of rich elites.  That just makes me a tad uncomfortable.  We could have afforded to send kid to private bc we only have one.  In the end didn’t apply bc of my general unease with the richly-rich thing.  But - In talking with my friend who has a same age kid at NCS - there is no doubt in my mind the academics are (overall) 100 times stronger than at Walls (my kid is there).  On the other other hand, the cohort at Walls is uniformly lovely and full of smart, hard-working kids.  And, my kid is smart - so notwithstanding lackluster coursework and teachers, scored a 1550 on the SAT and a 5 on calc BC.  Kid may have to do some catch-up work on how to write well in college (but again, she is very smart - so I am confident she can do it).  I say “may” because the way things are going with AI it seems nobody needs to know how to write anymore ….[/quote]
