[quote=Anonymous]In the 80s and 90s, GDS was regarded as a progressive/hippy, liberal intellectual school for Jewish and African American kids. It was where journalists and activists send their children. I don’t think the intellectual or academic quality of the school was ever really questioned; it was just more anti-establishment than Sidwell and the Cathedral Schools. The previous headmaster, Peter Branch, did a ton a fundraising and schmoozing, and as the city became wealthier, more and more mainstream “establishment” families started sending their kids to GDS. I’d say for the last 20 years GDS has been on a trajectory that for better or for worse, put it in the same league as other well known independent schools in the area.[/quote]
