[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. [/quote] DD was admitted with no connections or hooks other than excellent grades, test scores, and evidence of talent in creative writing and dance. We did not choose it for connections. PP sounds like someone whose child did not get in looking for a reason to slam the school. [/quote]
