[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We applied to only those three schools for our kids because we wanted a secular, co-ed, K-12 school that was convenient for our location, and those three have the best reputations within that small set of criteria.

Sidwell is not secular.  [/quote]

It’s not Quaker. [/quote]

My Sidwell enrolled kids would disagree with you, based on their lived experience.   Do you attend?

[/quote]

I did. It’s not Quaker. The price tag alone tells you that. [/quote]

Nah. Sidwell tuition is squarely in line with the tuition of other K-12 Quaker schools that are located *within the city limits* of large East Coast cities.  Particularly NYC, Philly, Providence and Baltimore.  Baltimore Friends is somewhat less, but of course so are Baltimore homes, salaries, everything.   Same for Wilmington Friends, in a city that I just learned from the interwebs is 51% less expensive of a city to live in than Washington DC

I hope you're not thinking of the practically rural SSFS as your point of comparison?
