Sidwell is definitely an Ivy+ feeder. They’re sending approximately 30% of the grade to Ivy+ universities this year. When you’re sending 30-35% of your students, every year, to 12 of the most highly selective universities in the country, you’re a feeder school.
Pp is a moron. All of the big3 are feeders. It’s just shocking to me that parents actually truly believe otherwise. Whatever.
LOL
No, they are not.
The Ivy feeders are schools like Boston Latin, Phillips Academy, Stuy, Exeter, Lawrenceville, Harvard Westlake, Bronx sciences etc...

In my opinion, any school that regularly sends at least one kid to every Ivy every year is an Ivy Feeder
Sidwell fits comfortably into this definition.
Schools like Lawrenceville and Boston Latin predominantly send their kid to a single Ivy.
Lawrenceville without Princeton would look much worse than Sidwell without Princeton.
Same for Boston Latin without Harvard.
But maybe that is what you mean by feeder, their students get in when they wouldn't have gotten in from another high school.
Are you sure you are comfortable by that definition? Then many public HS in UMC area here will fit that definition, for sure like W schools, Langley, McLean, Oakton HS.
Yes. I think so. If you reliably send a student to every ivy every year, then I think you are an ivy feeder. You are on their radar and they have heard of your school. You may not be Exeter or Stuyvesant but they know your school produces good applicants and that means they will take you a bit more seriously.

Could you please define “Ivy feeder,” just so we know what you are talking about? You clearly don’t mean “schools that only send students to Ivies” or even “schools that send most of their students to Ivies.” So what does it mean, to you?

Lol imagine! A college counseling group based in NYC focusing all on the schools in their region and then also mentioning the #1 public in the nation (TJ)... not like they have a reason to specifically mention those schools 🙄
I would love to see if you can cite that they are wrong.
And despite the counseling group, It is wellknown that Exeter, Andover, Boston Latin, Trinity, Harvard Westlake, Stuy … are some of the ivy top feeder school. Unless you live in your very small circle.
And it is true that TJ was multiple time #1, I am saying not every year.
And whats up with that eyes rolling?
I didn't say they were wrong, just that Sidwell is clearly outside of the scope of what they would list on their site, it is not located in NYC, a boarding school, or a select public school outlier which is what they list...
This thread is proving exactly why I don't send my kid to public school. You all can't form a cohesive argument, understand basic math/statistics or comprehend what you read.

Sidwell is, without question, an Ivy+ feeder. I have no idea what any of those random public schools are doing, but I doubt they’re sending 30-35% of their seniors to Ivy+ feeders EVERY year. Btw, I can’t recall a year where Sidwell hasn’t sent at least 2 students to every Ivy. It’s usually 3-6/year at Penn, Harvard, Cornell, and Columbia.

By that definition (“place 25% to 40% of graduates at Ivy League and top-10 universities”), Sidwell is a feeder, though. It’s not mentioned on the web site because that’s a marketing site for a New York based company, but it falls within the definition they use.
