[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The results are very similar to the local magnet schools and top publics. I would imagine these are strong academic cohorts across the board, which Sidwell is known to select for. [/quote]

The facts say otherwise: https://bethesdamagazine.com/2024/09/17/where-do-moco-students-attend-college/

Please let me know which MoCo “magnet schools and top publics” have results that are similar to Sidwell’s. Make sure you control for size (Sidwell only has 125/grade in the U.S.). [/quote]

Bethesda Magazine data has already been debunked. Keep up.[/quote]

By whom? You and your hurt feelings.

For those of you who are interested in facts, here’s one example: According to the data, out of 353 MoCo students (10 different high schools) that applied to Harvard, 4 were admitted. Sidwell sent 4 to Harvard last year, and they’re sending 3 this year. I don’t know how many students applied last year, but Sidwell only has 125 students/class and all of them did not apply to Harvard.

Ok, so spend $60,000 a year in tuition so your kid has a 3 to 4 percent chance of going to Harvard?

No thanks. [/quote]
