Aside from that, no one outside the area would have ever heard of it. It’s no different than Sierra Canyon. It’s had a couple children of very famous people (Obama/Clinton) or (Lebron/extended Kardashians). [/quote]

It doesn’t really matter why Sidwell is famous. It just is. The fact remains that no other DC school is more famous.

OP, that’s your answer. [/quote]
No, Dematha is more famous, more well-known. 
NP[/quote]

No it isn’t. Most Americans don’t know the names of the vast majority of college/professional athletes’ high schools. Dematha’s location doesn’t help either. I live in DC, and I have no idea where Dematha is located (somewhere in PG?). I never think of Dematha when I think of good high schools. [/quote]
More Americans know the name Dematha than they know Sidwell. 
It is what it is. [/quote]

Nope. Most people know where President Obama’s daughters graduated from high school, compared to some PG County sports factory that has produced athletes I can’t name off the top of my head. It is what it is.[/quote]
“PG country Sports factory” you are either racist, classist or classless  :roll: [/quote]

Are your feelings hurt that you attended and/or your child attends a PG country Sports factory? Too bad, so sad. 😞 [/quote]

[b]Using PG county as a supposed dig is racist. [/b]You’re making Sidwell look really bad, and I’m pretty sure the obamas would be disgusted with being used to advance your little narrative.[/quote]

It sounds like PG County residents are sensitive about living in PG County. Who knew?[/quote]

You’ll be the same one sending your kid to UMD in PG county in a few years, if they can even get in, calling it the new Ivy after they get rejected from an actual Ivy, which you’ll say is because they didn’t have a hook. Then you’ll say they should’ve gone to public school or a “sports factory” like Dematha so they could increase their chance of being an athletic recruit. Somehow you’ll manage to walk the line between snobbery and victimhood without ever seeing the contradiction. Best of luck to you. [/quote]

I have nothing against UMD. It’s is a fine school for those students that want that experience. That said, [b]go to IG and count the number of Sidwell students who are attending UMD (from the past 3 years).[/b] 
You can count them on one hand and have fingers left over. [/quote]

UMD is proudly bolded on Sidwell 's college matriculation rate as one of the few institutions currently enrolling 4 or more Sidwell alums. Get your narrative straight: https://www.sidwell.edu/academics/college-counseling/college-matriculation[/quote]

Did you skip over the bolded sentence above? There is ONE Sidwell student, within the past 3 years, who went to Maryland (with a guaranteed transfer to Cornell). 
The link you provided is for classes 2020 to 2023. Prove that there are more than four Sidwell students at UMD, from the past three graduating classes (including 2024). If there are, the students are NOT proudly showcasing that information on IG. It doesn’t appear that UMD is a hot ticket for Sidwell students. Are you angry about that too?
[/quote]

Stop gaslighting. The school’s list is far more authoritative than IG. Also even what you’re claiming were true, it’s not the flex you think it is, as there are many schools on that IG ranked lower than UMD. [/quote]

The school’s list says “four or more.” You have no proof that there are more than four Sidwell graduates at UMD, from the 2020 to 2023 classes. So, I say it’s four. [/quote]

I guess Sidwell is famous in the UMD admissions office. [/quote]

Yeah, I knew a bunch of people from Sidwell that went to UMD and UMBC.  Those are very solid schools.[/quote]
