[quote=Anonymous]My DCs attended GCS for LS and MS. The older two wanted to switch for HS. The youngest, we forced him/her to switch. HS: the HS is very, very sports centered. I don't think a non-sporty kid would have a social life if they are not into sports. GCS is trying to compete with McDonogh and therefore have sunk a lot of money into a track, stadium and turf fields. The culture is parents and students kowtow to the parents and students who are big donors or their grandparents are or just rich families in general. The culture is if a woman works, the family is looked down upon. Exactly the opposite of what I wanted. I don't think the HS academics is a thought with the administration. Academics are an afterthought. The HOS is totally ineffective as he only pays attention to the HS. I don't know how hard is to get accepted. We loved GCS LS and MS but, if my kids didn't want to switch for HS, I'm sure I would have insisted. GL[/quote]
