[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm also from LA. People over estimate that anyone can even name Obama's daughters yet alone can name who the current VP is. I'm a politically active upper middle class person. People are far more likely to follow sports than politics. It's a fact. You all are forgetting that hardly like than 1/3 Americans can name 3 branches of govt or anyone in Supreme Court. Sidwell is not more famous than Dematha, Gonzaga, or St John's. I'd also now add in PVI in the last 2 years.

WCAC is the most dominant basketball league in the country. They also are very strong in many other sports including football.[/quote]

Wrong! I’ve read articles about Sidwell in the LA Times, The NY Times, and cities across the country. I’ve even seen several articles about Sidwell in the Daily Mail! I certain little to no ink has been spent on Dematha, Gonzaga, SJC and PVI in the British press.

Get over yourself. I had a kid graduate from Sidwell. Many of my west coast family have never heard of the school. Sidwell has a graduating class of what 100-125? Dematha a lot more. Who cares that you seek out papers written about your school? And yes, national newspapers write about Dematha, St John's, and Gonzaga all the time.

Why can't people in this forum be objective about anything? Nobody is saying top ranked, most successful alumna, or best college placements. The OP asked about fame.

Sidwell has 2k IG followers. Dematha has  11k. Yes Sidwell bball has helped in recent years, but as a sports establishment, they are not even close. Even St Frances is more famous than Sidwell in sports and whether you like it or not, sports &gt; more famous than politics in this country. [/quote]
