[quote=Anonymous]DC applied for HS, was accepted at both but chose another school (but liked GDS and Maret a lot).  I think that the biggest difference is size. Maret is tiny in comparison.  This can be a good thing if your child finds friends, could be hard if they don't.  I'd also agree with above posters that the activism is more overt at GDS and woven through everything in the school; it's explicitly throughout the curriculum and was mentioned in every address we were given.  In attending events at the school, I felt Maret was a bit more diverse (especially economically) and I liked that it felt like a neighborhood school (whatever that means). And at GDS, I loved that the kids looked so "at home" in their school - they ran the entire event and they owned the place (in a good way) and had great spirit.  (I can honestly say that school DC chose pales in comparison on both these counts).

Both GDS and Maret had very nice communities and both offer a great education.

Maret will also likely be harder to get into, as I said, it's tiny.
