[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had experience with parents at all of the Big 3 Schools, having had children at several and friends at all of them.  In my opinion - which I will not extrapolate to be a generalization or negative commentary about any of these parent communities - the GDS parents I know and/or have interacted with tend to be some of the more approachable, friendly, and relaxed people I have met in my long time in Washington, DC.  This has been true even of the parents who are among the power players in this town.  I find the GDS parents I know to be a community of very little pretense or overt status competition, and a lot of camaraderie.[/quote]

Posters have expressed different opinions on the parents, and outside of immersing oneself in a school's community it is difficult to get a representative sample from which to make generalizations or draw accurate conclusions.  If we focus on the education, which is what is most important to the students, GDS, Sidwell, and NCS/STA all appear to be excellent schools with their respective share of strong teachers, talented students, rich program offerings, awards, and accolades.  And of note the students at all of these schools appear to be a generally confident, happy, well-adjusted group.[/quote]
