[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've  watched this play out very closely for 3 years:  I have DCPS kids (3) who are in Big3 high schools.  best friends are at Walls.

Your kids will work much harder at Sidwell and learn more but they'll get into a better college from Walls.  (But does high school have to be this challenging?  That is the question.)  The school spirit part of high school may be better at Sidwell. [/quote]

Why do you think a student will get into a better college from Walls?  Do you have data that indicates students from these two schools, with similar stats, do better coming from Walls?  Where’s the proof?[/quote]

I'm not the PP you are referring to but I agree with their assessment re college admissions.[/quote]

The question is will the same kid have better admissions results from a different school, and you can't answer that. The legacy athletic recruit was always going to go to the legacy Ivy no matter which high school he chose. Choose a high school for the high school experience, not a pipe dream of different college results.[/quote]
