[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You can't tell me any private school in the area gives 100% FA to a whopping 9% of the student body. [/quote]

Are you kidding?!  Sidwell, GDS and Maret come immediately to mind.   I'd bet Beauvoir does, too, but I don't know that one for sure.  These three I know from tours.

In keeping with Quaker tenets, Sidwell Friends School seeks a student body that represents varied economic backgrounds. In 2012-2013, 23 percent of our students will receive approximately $6,100,000 of financial aid support   http://www.sidwell.edu/admissions/financial-aid/index.aspx

If you could prove that almost 1/2 of Sidwell's FA was 100% packages, then I might have some respect for your powers if analysis. However, having had kids in private schools myself, I'm well aware that most of this is partial, even just a few thousand for some kids.

And we haven't begun to discuss the families who don't qualify for FA (generally, HHI &gt; $120K). There may be a few of these at Sidwell, getting help from grandparents or living in 1-BR apartments, but that's a definite barbell. You know it's true, you just don't want to see it. [/quote]
