Sidwell family here. Agree that these rankings are stupid, but if you have to have them, at least they got the top right.

Polls like this are stupid and meaningless. Just stop with them.

I’m not sure. I expect the BIMbots could tell you, though.

These are only marginally useful because they only rank private schools that have high schools.

You mean Sidwell shouldn’t be number 1?!?

I mean that Niche isn’t probative evidence of whether Sidwell is #1, or any school’s ranking. Not this year or in any prior years. It’s always been trash given that they can’t vouch for the data on which their content is based.

That sounds like literally every other school ranking out there, including for colleges. Take these with a grain of salt and use it as a starting point to research the schools, nothing more.
