This forum loves to pretend southern high-schools are all horrible.

Yes, Sidwell did better. I’ll focus on Ivy+ universities here because: (1) they tend to be the most selective, and (2) a lot of schools on Westminster’s list are not popular with Sidwell students (e.g., UGA, GT, WF, etc).

Keep in mind that Westminster’s graduating class is nearly twice as large as Sidwell’s.

Looks like ~ 25% success rate . Means 75% headed to target/safety schools . So for majority of parents Sidwell was NOT a good deal?[/quote]

not a Sidwell parent, but imagine there are T25 schools not listed here and T10 SLACs? The rule of thumb in the IEC world is that if 40 %+ seniors are admitted (not matriculating) to a T25/T10 SLAC that is a sign of a feeder high school. At the many feeder high schools, it's usually 50% of the class is admitted to a T25.
I imagine that's the case here as it's only limited to Ivy+.[/quote]
