[quote=Anonymous]To be fair, I imagine it is shocking for many parents to discover that their private school doesn't favor siblings. That's not the private-school culture that many of us knew growing up -- back in the day when people identified as strongly with their prep school as they did with their college. There's a tradeoff that schools like Sidwell have to make to achieve their super-elite academic status. What they gain in college placements they risk losing in alumni loyalty and tradition. My husband and I opted for the Catholic track because we wanted keep our girls together. There's a tradeoff to that as well --  Catholic schools (and most other schools that heavily favor siblings) tend to be less academically prestigious (well, at least to this crowd). Anyway my point is that if a strong sibling policy is important to you, factor that in at the front end and save yourself the grief. And be honest with yourself -- keeping your kids in the same school may be more important/practical than you may realize.[/quote]
