This School’s Reviews

5.0 Parent

5/13/2025

I have two students at the school. One is graduating high school after starting in 9th grade and the other is completing 8th grade after joining in 6th grade. They both came to Sidwell from another top-rated independent school in the area, and I was on the board of that school. That said, their experience at Sidwell has exceeded expectations. My senior had enjoyed every minute at the school and my 8th grader would only go back to her old school kicking and screaming.

Horrible school. Bad culture that is super pretentious and not welcoming. Way too expensive for a bad high school.

5/22/2020

This rigorous school is a great place to find many unique opportunities and find a somewhat liberal arts based education. Sidwell Friends is very community based and values honestly and integrity. This school will push you to your academic limits and strive for your goals. Some things that should change are the over competitive climate and there have been issues relating to EJC work. The school has been proactive over the years trying to educate their students on these topics

While I appreciate the quality of education I have received at Sidwell Friends School, I have noticed some areas of concern. There have been instances of bullying among students that I believe the school could have handled better. Additionally, there have been times when I feel that some teachers ar...

For 80% of the student body the school is adequate and they are guided toward expensive smaller colleges, often smaller and regional institutions. The top 20% typically are admitted to highly selective institutions. After sending three children to the school, we now find ourselves in a stressful pos...
