[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up here in the 80s and it was considered a school where kids went that didn't "get in" - things have changed - what happened and when?[/quote]

Not sure but what I will say that, after our DD got into Sidwell, Beauvoir, and GDS for Kindergarten we spent a lot of time visiting all the schools, classes in session, and speaking with multiple parents from each school. We also spent a lot of time ensuring private school was the right direction by doing the same with our local public school option (one that we will continue to examine periodically). Tough decision, but GDS’ came out top based on cirriculum, down-to-earth culture and positive feeling. We wanted a school where academics were tops but a good, positive growth attitude was really important and were lucky to have a good set of choices to choose from. The new LS/MS campus that will be ready next year was also a draw as was the location which was convenient for our family. It really comes down to your personal preference and fit so spend as much time as you need to on your decision. Also - ignore all these posts about religion etc - all of these schools are diverse enough in every dimension for having a balanced group of friends and perspectives. [/quote]
