[quote=Anonymous]I'll say this: I grew up in an upper middle class suburb and went to Public School . Beauvoir is far more diverse in terms of ethnic, religious, country of origin, and racial diversity than any community of which I was ever a part growing up. My HS and most of the HS in towns neighboring mine looked just like GDS. Beauvoir on the otehr hand has a bit of everything, but not too much of anything.

The Beauvoir AD does a remarkable job at building a class, but you better be capable of some real tolerance and be willing to build commonality.  The new head comes from the Philadelphia school , which if you look at its board is very progressive. Almost like, well GDS. Hmmmm how did that happen?

Financially, GDS may have more of a dumbell FA pattern ( some very rich/some poor) whereas Beuvoir has more in middle and gives less aid to all.

I think most of the stereoptypes about Beauvoir are out dated and come from a group who sees a Cathedral looming  and fears that their religious/ethnic group is not welcome. That feeling is self-imposed. Nobody cares anymore, really. And honestly, look around, the Episcopal church is advocating for gay marriage. Our kids truly live in a world different that the one I was born into.[/quote]
