[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]60% POC, 1 in 4 to 1 in 5 on financial aid. What more do you want?[/quote]

About 20% are on financial aid. I personally know a few of Sidwell’s financial aid recipients (because they’re open about it). They are all well educated professionals (e.g., combinations of two-parent feds, teachers, professors, journalists, etc). By US standards, these are solidly middle class and upper middle class families.

Sidwell is a great school, [b]but there isn’t much economic diversity[/b]. It’s a school for the uber wealthy, regular wealthy and middle/upper middle class. There are very few, if any, impoverished students at Sidwell. [/quote]

Speaking from our experience, this isn't really true. Sure, there are some very wealthy families, but most of the parent cohort we are friendly with are "regular" people ranging from nurses and city (DC) employees to non-profit workers etc. Like salaries in the 40,000-120,000 range if I had to guess. Doing well, but by DC standards, no where close to the 2 lawyer, seven figure incomes people in this thread are assuming.[/quote]
