[quote=Anonymous]Hello, we are new to DC and beginning our school search.

DS, currently in 3rd grade.  Wondering if Georgetown Day School might be a good fit (don't know much about the school, but have good impressions based on web-searches and the like).  Son is typical "boy" in sensibility and humor (read: slightly lowbrow/potty style jokes), a bit shy, and a bit nerdy.  I would like him to have guidance in becoming an adult of good character, but thus far, at schools that he has attended, he seems to have glommed on to the crasser side of jokes and such.  While I don't want to force a square peg into a round hole, neither do I want to encourage this and let him freely slide into choosing the baser side of things, including in friendships, interests, etc..

I have also read a lot recently about how girls do much better in school and subsequently life, I'm wondering if at Georgetown Day School, the studious/"good grades" earners are mostly female?  Would you recommend all-boy option as a better plan for this type of child?  Thanx!

ps.  child is of Asian descent. [/quote]
