[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Query - is the HGC comparable to a Sidwell or Georgetown Prep? Also, are the teachers different?[/quote] At the HGC and MS magnet, we found a number of parents who were choosing these public options over privates like Sidwell and GDS. The financial savings was not the motivating factor. Rather the thinking was that the competitive draw ensured that all HGC kids were pretty smart and thus the overall peer level was bound to be higher than the private school peer pool which had been chosen for different competitive factors that included wealth, connections and performance on an IQ test in K.
