nope. sidwell parent here and no idea where to find this information. it would be interesting to see a list. so if you can tell us where to find it, that would be great.[/quote]

Sidwell CCO tracks this and sends 5-year info to schools students apply to.  But they don't share it with parents.[/quote]

Not Quakerly? How do parents put up with this crap? [/quote]

The school is small enough that you can track who went to what school and see their Naviance information by cross listing yourself. As such, to protect privacy, the school doesn't share the comprehensive lists by grade. However, each class posts informal lists, and this happens at most schools. That is where the previous information came from.[/quote]

It's crazy that Sidwell doesn't publish a college destination list each year. No justification for not doing it.[/quote]

Why? The publish a 4 year list. If you track it each year, you can figure it out. Why do you care where someone you don't know is going to college? That is weird.[/quote]

Because a school should celebrate its graduates. Sidwell celebrates its student-athletes and provides information about where they are going to college. It's in the magazine (leaving aside the social media coverage). Why not celebrate the entire class in the magazine?

Also, I don't know why you assume that I don't know the graduates, but sophomores and juniors who actually do know these kids shouldn't need to piece together where their peer leaders and older friends are going to college from word of mouth or following Instagram accounts.[/quote]

If you know them that well, then you will know where they are going to school. Your kid probably is connected via Instagram, ask them.[/quote]

Honestly, you're just making up excuses and justifications. The school should celebrate its graduates. Period.[/quote]

They do. It's called graduation. The seniors also have a "shirt day" and generally post on social media where they are going.[/quote]

You do realize that it is standard at pretty much every other independent school in the country to publish a list within the school, right? Why do you think they shouldn't publish a list?[/quote]
