[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to this Wikipedia article and the NY Times article it links to, "Sidwell has long been described by some as the Harvard of Washington’s private schools."

IMHO Sidwell is more like the Penn of Washington’s private schools

STA is the Harvard of Washington’s private schools
Gonzaga is the Notre Dame of Washington’s private schools
Prep is the Georgetown (duh) of Washington’s private schools
Landon is the Princeton of Washington’s private schools
GDS is the MIT of Washington’s private schools

I read the "Penn" thing as an anti-Semitic reference.  [/quote]

I'm not OP I went to Penn and I don't see why you think the comparison would be anti-Semitic.[/quote]

Probably a benign Quaker reference. Both schools sports teams are even called the Quakers. My brother went from
Sidwell to Penn so was a Quaker for 18 years. [/quote]
