[quote=Anonymous]You need a reality check.  Both schools have some of the highest percentages of NMSFs (some years Sidwell more, others GDS more on a % basis) and incredible college admissions (but with experience at both schools, college counseling was much much better at GDS although I gather Sidwell finally got some new and hopefully better people).  GDS may have a few more kids interested in the arts and less focused on academics than Sidwell (and much better arts programs) but for similar kids academically, they are going to be around plenty of similar peers at both schools and have very similar college admissions chances, which has much more to do with the specific kid than the school. But you are really going to drive yourself and your kid crazy (Literally) if you are worried about this stuff for deciding where to go for preK.  For HS kids transfer back and forth between the two schools with some regularity, mostly due to social fit/friends, or a specific sport, or arts.  And if the kid is an academic star the other school will welcome them in our experience[/quote]
