[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St. Johns has a lot more lower and middle class kids. GDS has a lot more UMC + wealthy kids. The schools are very different.[/quote] GDS awards financial aid and this is given primarily to PoC. St. John’s tuition is half or less that of GDS but also awards financial aid. SJCHS is much larger and there is a significant population of very affluent people. I find it to be more of a mix - like public schools should be (but aren’t always). Huge difference is that GDS was closed for nearly all of the pandemic, with classes meeting virtually. SJCHS was open most of the time, or with a hybrid schedule. GDS students call teachers by first name; SJCHS uses formal address. GDS kids tend to be very outspoken, can appear argumentative as they adjust to school. Lots of competitiveness. SJC kids tend to be outwardly respectful and polite. [/quote]
