[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are Sidwell’s athletics facilities so average given these numbers?[/quote]

???

They have a relatively new athletic facility that puts many small colleges to shame.[/quote]

Well I would hope so, if it costs 50k to send a 4 year old who won't even be able to use the athletic facilities there.

Seriously, at these prices, it should be a palace with the best teachers, no student should ever experience bullying, the school should be able to guarantee entry into the college of your choice, and all the kids should get a puppy. Arts programming should be top notch, children should be able to publish novels before the graduate, their writing should be so good.

Everyone saying this is worth it is insane. I think the main allure is the prestige of the name ("presidents' kids" is such a selling point for Sidwell) and the idea that it puts you in a specific peer group. The idea that the school is inherently worth this much money is garbage. Sidwell is a good school but literally no school is this good.[/quote]

Faculty and staff salaries, benefits (including 401K matched contributions), etc., eat up a significant portion of total tuition dollars. It usually costs schools more to educate, feed, etc., each student than the price of the tuition. [/quote]
