[quote=Anonymous]+1. This thread, ironic or not, was focused on the parents back grounds in getting their kids into sidwell. Someone noted how this was even carried into the sidwell Wikipedia entry. A cursory review of other Wikipedia entries shows no other school trumpeting the parent body. Rather, top prep schools typically focus on te accomplishments of its actual student bosy. Considering the dearth of highly accomplished sidwell grads compared to, for example, the St. Albans grads, (at least publicized on wikipedia), I think that the PPs were reasonable in their assumptions. I get it. The takeaway to the casual observer is if you already are accomplished and want a comfortable and safe place for your children, you choose sidwell, if you want your child to be an astronaut, senator, or general world leader, they go to St. Albans or holton etc. To confirm. This is based purely on observation from this site and wikipedia , not necessarily my belief. [/quote]
