This is relatively surprising considering how strong GDS was doing at the start. It looked like GDS would solidly outperform them, but Sidwell is on a hot streak now. Doing very very well at T20s and some strong LACs as well - Pomona, Hamilton, Carleton, Hamilton, Midd
So what?
GDS outperformed Sidwell last year. Holton’s college outcomes are better than NCS this year, based on the instagram posts. Way too soon to call a trend.
The private schools kids will be fine!
GDS did not outperform Sidwell last year. However, the outcomes were much closer than they are this year.

Yes, GDS 22 beat Sidwell 22 hands down.
I disagree.
In 2022, 102 GDS students posted their college destinations. Among GDS seniors, 16 out of 102 (15.6%) were heading to Ivies. In 2022, 8 out of the 62 (12.9%) SFS students who posted went to Ivies. GDS and SFS have around the same number of graduates each year. 15.6% and 12.9% are pretty close—much closer than the difference in 2023. This year, 8 out of 83 (9.6%) GDS students are heading to Ivies so far. In contrast, 13 out of 66 (19.6%) SFS who posted will attend Ivies in the fall.
That is a HUGE difference. Also, SFS sending 20% of its grads to Ivy League schools is objectively impressive.
Uh that’s not the entire class so the percentages are meaningless. Much like this entire debate.
Everyone knows, or should know, that the entire class doesn’t post. However, about half the class for both SFS and GDS posted in 2022 and 2023.
Don’t tell me tell the person impressed by SFS sending 20% of its grads to Ivy League schools based on half the class listing.
Over half of 2023 Sidwell grads have posted this year. I’d say that the 20% of those heading to Ivies, who have posted this far, are a good representation of the entire class. Further, if there are zero additional Sidwell students attending Ivies this fall (which isn’t the case), the students who already posted represent 10% of the entire class. That’s still pretty good.

I’m not a SFS parent. My children attend a private that isn’t Sidwell nor GDS. Someone posted the 2022 links above, so I decided to crunch the numbers. I prefer facts, not opinions (or “feelings”).
Even worse. Not redeeming yourself here
Lol at the thought that I’m seeking redemption (or approval) on this anonymous chat—from you or anyone else.

There are a lot of Ivys etc from the SFS class of 22 who didn't post on Instagram because....they didn't want strange adults doing what you just did.
You all are strange.
And you strangely felt the need to let people believe there are even better secret results. You are all the same in this embarrassment.

And Holton did not outperform NCS this year—lots of Holton’s good results are only due to athletic commits.
And?
Athletics are not an admit in a vacuum. The applicant has athletics as a hook AND the academics.

Just want to add that GDS usually has a larger graduating class than Sidwell. It’s typically about 145-150 GDS students, compared to ~125 graduating Sidwell students.
GDS typically has 125-130 in the graduating class. The classes are only bigger right now due to the current overenrollment issues that started around the pandemic
