[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are Sidwell parents so insecure? Seriously.[/quote]

They have spent so much money on SFS that they need to reassure themselves it was money well spent.

Reality is that any school, any, will be a good fit for some students and not a good fit for others. Folks should have their DC in schools which are best fit.

And an unhooked child's T20/Ivy admissions chances will be better from a lower-ranked public where they can be top 5% and which has few (if any) hooked students applying to the same college. Not that DCUM wants to hear this.[/quote]

Facts:

1. Public schools in this area have more hooked students (legacies) than any of the top privates, based on sheer numbers; and

2. All of the MoCo publics combined sent six (6) students to Harvard in 2023 (out of >300 applicants). GDS alone sent 6 students to Harvard last year. GDS only has about 130 students per grade. They didn’t all apply to Harvard.

I’m sure you don’t want to hear that, huh?
