[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell is a great investment into your child's education. Take a look at their alumni social media accounts. Active group that's racially diverse. Is it worth the 44k tag? Well, that's up to you and what your expecting. At the end of the day this is one of the best schools in DC and in the Nation. [/quote]

Finally, someone willing to say what really drives most decisions to attend SFS and similar schools: connections. Especially for k-12s, connections get a kid in and connections are what families pay for. Also a big consideration for schools which is why legacies and knowing Board members, etc. are hooks.

Give it a break.

By the time you are 25 yo you’ll have way more connections where your try interests lie than your teenage years.  You’ll have college friends, internships friends, Sports friends, study abroad friends, job friends, grad school friends.  It’s awesome. It’s a small world too. But please don’t harp about upper school or hometown. If even relevant to what you’re doing, that will be just one other circle of friends and good contacts you have among a ton of others. [/quote]
