Its been in the ~125 range the last several years.

Penn, Northwestern, UChicago, Cornell, and (unsurprisingly) Harvard are very popular among Sidwell students, and those schools seem to love Sidwell. On average, Sidwell sends about 4-6 students per year to those five schools (always on the lower end of that range for Harvard).

This year is shaping up to be more of the same. Two of the three Sidwell students who are going to Harvard haven’t posted on IG (and probably won’t do so). Another student who was admitted to Harvard hasn’t made a final decision yet (that student was admitted to several Ivies).

So far, about 22% of this year’s graduating class is heading to an Ivy+ university. That percentage will probably rise to about 25% by graduation. At least 75% of Sidwell’s graduates will end up at a T50 university or T25 SLAC.

Isn't this kind of unimpressive? 75% end up at top 50ish schools for a school like sidwell? Would have expected 50% to ivy and 70% to top 15 privates.

Sidwell has a lot of strong schools!

For $58,000 a year, it better.

Pretty much all private high schools cost that much, Sidwell is the best. Ever wondering why?

There is no wonder that a school charging that much in this area has the results it does. The Q is why don’t the others charging the same have the same results?

Same. For privacy reasons, but also many are fake.

What's point of posting fake matriculation on ins?
