[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the thoughtful responses. I do not at this moment have a favorite, but one thing that I liked about GDS is the small class size and teacher ratio. Doesn’t that mean more individual attention? Sidwell has up to 20 kids in a class in elementary with one teacher (this was said twice during admissions process). I don’t know how many kids are in the GDS classrooms, but the website says the teacher student ratio is 6:1. [/quote] This aggregate stat of 6:1 is Bs. With the new building they went from 20-22 kids and 2 teachers to 16-22 students and 1 teacher and maybe bring in one subject specialists to help those very behind in math or reading. Some classes early on maybe half to Special A and half go to Special B, but that split class stuff may have ended as well. [/quote]
