[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is considering GDS when applying to highschool in the fall.  She is a strong athlete and good student.  Our concern is finding the right place for her as she has previously been in a fairly sheltered, small class environment.  Appreciate any honest feedback.  And yes, we do plan to tour the school, along with others, when the 2013-2014 tours begin.....[/quote]

Here's an honest opinion - if you think GDS is a good fit for your daughter then you should pursue it.  Truthfully, GDS is unique - it's not for everyone, but it is different -- there is no school like it.  The only possible "comparables" IMHO are Sidwell & Maret.  NCS, Holton and the Catholic Schools are VERY different --[b] simply put if GDS is a fit for your DD then none of the other schools is.  [/quote][/b]

I'm sorry, but I think that is a really silly and vacuous comment. Here's hoping young people are not all neatly labelled into where they "fit" at age 13. LOL and let's stop cloaking a school in wide sweeping generalizations . The world really isn't such an ordered place , all the square pegs here, the round ones over there....

Take a tour, read the curriculum, talk to other parents and ignore anyone who tries to stereotype a school.
