[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College placement stats do not lie, and GDS is probably second only to Sidwell. [/quote]

Can you provide that info please? [/quote]

GDS college placement is apocryphal - the school keeps the list secret. Parents seem to be satisfied though.[/quote]

Their college placement is fine, but no more impressive than most private schools in the area. My neighbor even said she didn't think her daughter did any better with college placement than she would have from public school, BUT she felt her child benefited academically tremendously and got good advice ensuring she would get into most of the places to which she applied. I would focus more on the education and atmosphere and not on where the kids go to college. If your kid is "Harvard" material, then sure a private school makes it a bit easier to get in than a public, but you aren't going to get a kid in who doesn't belong there unless your family bought a building there.[/quote]
