[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lunch thing is a non starter. Can’t imagine a high school decision being made because of the presence or absence of school lunch! Your kid will figure it out fast; and you don’t have to agree to daily or weekly DoorDash. Let your child have a big (only?) say in this. Guide toward Maret if they need more handholding and an easier curriculum. Guide toward GDS if they are drawn to more in depth intellectual endeavors. The larger size can be socially much better; it’s also less white and sporty. So depends what your kid is drawn to

You can have a very smart kid who can make this decision for themselves and yet have lunch be a factor.

My older child chose his HS based on the best food options - which was fine because all his HS options had great academics. He likes food and eat a lot and he didn't want to have to figure out lunch each day at GDS (whether that planning for the week on what to bring/pack from home or where to go on days to eat out). He still brings the the "no cafeteria" factor up as the main negative about GDS.

Meanwhile, my second kid barely ever eats lunch.  He doesn't care that GDS doesn't have lunch and tells this to older brother all the time.
