[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What percentage of parents at Whitman are high net worth( top 1%). Compare that with the privates, no comparison. Rich people aren't dummies. Obviously, that's why they're rich and not Feds.[/quote] I was a parent at Sidwell for 10 years, and a parent at Whitman for 12. I can say quite confidently, as to the wealth factor, that the middle 50% at Sidwell is about the same as the top half at Whitman. There are many, many top-1% families at Whitman. Many summer houses, Colorado ski trips, summer camps, country clubs - all of those things. Sure, Sidwell has a few mega-money types. But overall, there is no culture shock as between the two schools. It’s not a good reason to switch (either way).[/quote]
