[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS is in another league that Georgetown Prep. It is like Real Madrid and Valencia, if you know what I mean....[/quote]
Except that Prep has more history, wealth, national name recognition (http://www.businessinsider.com/most-selective-boarding-schools-in-america-2016-2/#14-tie-georgetown-preparatory-school-2), and famous alumni (https://www.gprep.org/about/alumni/notable-alumni).  Nobody has heard of GDS outside of DC.  At least Sidwell has name recognition.[/quote]
I disagree. Look at the placements. At the US Presidential Scholars Programs. Ask anyone who works in admissions at the most reputable US universities. Don’t fool yourself. Georgetown Prep might be a great alternative, an outstanding school, but it is playing in another league. Full stop.[/quote]
Placement alone does not make a school great.  I would never send my kid to Sidwell, which, arguably, as the best placement among schools.[/quote]

I agree with this. Regarding the previous post “TG” GDS does not have any high level Trump appointees.
And yes, it all depends what you are looking for. For me, GDS represents the whole rounded, academically sound and rigorous education I want for my kids. For other parents Georgetown Prep would definitely be a better fit. That said, IMO two different leagues. Full stop.[/quote]

Obviously not round with respect to ideology, but still . . . no need to think for oneself.[/quote]
