Yes, the overall educational experience is superior. Plus, Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools.

Because it’s a completely different pool of kids (public schools educate everyone whereas Sidwell is selecting the  advantaged few). Selection bias at its finest. Doesn’t make it a better school.[/quote]

Yes, it does. Selection bias, well-prepared,  wealthier and better resourced students (among many other reasons) are why Sidwell is a better school. Selection bias eliminates a lot of problem students, and it elevates the experience for the privileged few who remain. I know it’s not pc to say these things, but you know it’s true. [/quote]

Would love to see this statement on their website rather than all that garbage about a welcoming, inclusive and diverse community of learners. Such hypocrisy. [/quote]

It’s actually very diverse. Look it up

Sidwell bashers are disgruntled moms who would do the same in any school. You know the ones - incessantly bemoaning the learning gap, the principal etc. These threads are not serious or representative. There used to be a thread per week until everyone got sick of and run off the one constant complainer with a personal axe to grind.

Get a life, honestly [/quote]

It is not possible for private school costing $60,000 per year to be diverse.
