NEITHER OF THESE SCHOOLS ARE THAT BIG A DEAL.
Stop obsessing over them, they won't get your kid into a college that they weren't already going to get into. They are extremely unlikely to set them up with connections that they wouldn't have gotten through other avenues. They are just pretty good private schools. The NYC private school parents are chuckling about Potomac and Big 3. Go to any top school and the population of kids from the Big 3 combined wouldn't rank top 10 as a feeder school.
You guys are just Ms. Butternut Squash... the prettiest girl in your backwater town. You're embarrassing yourselves and your schools.
Does lying make you feel better because you’re unable to send your children to Sidwell?
According to Niche, the nationally known Sidwell Friends School is ranked #10 in the UNITED STATES, among “Private K-12 Schools in America.” Sidwell is ranked ahead of elite NYC schools like Dalton, Trinity, Sacred Heart, Nightingale-Bamford, etc. Please don’t let your highly biased opinion interfere with facts.

Wait a minute... isn't the top 4 and 5 of the top 10, NYC schools??

Do you actually know the senior class sizes at Dalton and Trinity relative to Sidwell?

You're funny.
It's ranked 10 by niche based on niche methodology. Last year Trinity was top 5.
If you have to rely on niche to tell you which schools any good, you probably don't actually know anything.
All those NY schools you named have 2 to 3 times the rate of Ivy+ admission rate of Sidwell.
You're embarrassing yourself and your school.
Since the facts don’t support your baseless claims, y’all have just decided to lie! 🤣 Dalton, Trinity, etc may have more Ivy+ admits than Sidwell, but they also have much larger student bodies (and certain undergraduate colleges at Cornell are public, so NY residents get a tremendous admissions bump there). What they don’t have is 2x-3x the rate of Ivy+ admits than Sidwell. Percentage-wise, there’s probably a 5-8% difference.
Why don’t you actually crunch the numbers and respond with facts. The only person who should be embarrassed is you.

Omg Ms. Butternut Squash took me out! 🤣
Also chuckling at the idea that the moms of NYC are laughing at the moms of DC without seeing the irony that they are exactly the same 😂 and I say that as someone who prior to having kids both my husband and I did work that split our time evenly between NYC and DC and deciding which one to live in was always a conversation because we both genuinely loved both for different reasons.
Lots of great schools, we are all spoiled with our options.
I'm chuckling at the idea that the moms of NYC lower themselves to spend so much time on a website called DC Urban Moms. Which they obviously do.
Sure. we're slumming it but it's entertaining to watch you peacocking over "Big 3" and anemic college matriculations.
It's like going to a park to watch the homeless drunks fight over who sleeps under the best bench.
🤣 oh come on, you're just sad Urban Baby is gone and trying to get your fix, but you were doing the same thing over there!
Maybe.
Screw you Kyle.
Yes, you're right. So what?

I don’t know why anyone else would expect any different. Surround yourself with kids of parents who are wealthy, entitled, materialistic (yeah I see the cars you drive and the jewelry you wear), and basically covert white supremacists and who chose the place mainly so their kids don’t have to mingle with the poors and you’re not going to build a meaningful community.
