[quote=Anonymous]Parent with several kids at GDS Our first kid chose GDS over Sidwell bc he thought it would be less of a pressure cooker. I think that was true in middle school, based on talking to friends at Sidwell, however both are pressure cookers in HS. With our younger kids I do think sibling preference helped them get into GDS. Our kids are all really happy at GDS. They feel challenged and accepted. They all have different learning styles, interests and levels of social /interactions with friends but they all seem to be thriving. In terms of the "middle school family" question- tons of kids are on financial aid. There is a big range of income levels. There are visibly wealthy families of course but it's not cool to flaunt it. There is no big fundraising gala for instance. However some kids will be going on amazing vacations, driving nice cars etc but that is certainly the same at Sidwell. [/quote]
