[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Sidwell tuition for the middle and upper school looks like it's similar to other schools only because, as a PP stated, the lower grades pay the same tuition as the higher grades. If they continued the typical practice of private schools, having the lower school pay less than middle school and upper school paying more than both, then the upper school tuition would be dramatically higher than for similar schools. This would make the school look bad.

What's worse for lower school parents and students, despite paying a much higher tuition compared to other lower schools, the class size is larger than most lower schools. Sidwell starts with a class of 24 to 2 , compared to less than 20 to 2 for most private lower schools. [/quote]

With 80% of the total student population in the US/MS, I am not sure this is true.  Inverted pyramid with 30-40 kids per grade in LS and 125 in a graduating class.[/quote]

This is why some people look at sending their kids to a school that goes to 8th grade. 9-12 are resource intense when compared to the lower classes and suck up the money.[/quote]
