[quote=Anonymous]So GDS isn't your cup of tea. Yes, DC publics and charters have more students of color. But they do not come close to reflecting the demographics of the region or the nation by income or ethnicity. As a non-white parent, I find that GDS makes a real effort to educate students about the complexities of race, ethnicity, and class. Yes, GDS and the other selective privates cost $36k/year but that's not because they aim to be economically exclusive. The fact of the matter is that tuition is driven by small class size, teacher salaries (generally lower than public schools), and financial aid. With an average financial aid award of $23k, GDS is financially accessible for many more than you think. [/quote]
