[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the education that much better than Whitman?[/quote]

Yes, the overall educational experience is superior. Plus, Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools.

Because it’s a completely different pool of kids (public schools educate everyone whereas Sidwell is selecting the  advantaged few). Selection bias at its finest. Doesn’t make it a better school.[/quote]

Yes, it does. Selection bias, well-prepared,  wealthier and better resourced students (among many other reasons) are why Sidwell is a better school. Selection bias eliminates a lot of problem students, and it elevates the experience for the privileged few who remain. I know it’s not pc to say these things, but you know it’s true. [/quote]

Would love to see this statement on their website rather than all that garbage about a welcoming, inclusive and diverse community of learners. Such hypocrisy. [/quote]

It’s actually very diverse. Look it up

Sidwell bashers are disgruntled moms who would do the same in any school. You know the ones - incessantly bemoaning the learning gap, the principal etc. These threads are not serious or representative. There used to be a thread per week until everyone got sick of and run off the one constant complainer with a personal axe to grind.

It is not possible for private school costing $60,000 per year to be diverse.

Yes, it is. They can curate gender, race and ethnicity and then provide significant FA (which Sidwell does) to attract the kids they want, even if they cannot come close to paying full freight.[/quote]
