[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After visiting, I preferred GDS and my spouse preferred Sidwell. Kid got into Sidwell and waitlisted at GDS. Kid went to Sidwell and didn't like it very much. Sidwell seemed more connected to DC power circles and, although [b]Sidwell's culture seemed nice on the surface, the community felt very restrained. GDS seemed to have more individualistic kids and feels a little warmer. [/b] Sidwell seems to be slightly more prestigious in the view of may DC people. I think this is based mostly on the parents, not the kids. College admissions are comparable (GDS may actually do slightly better). I actually think kids are happier, on the whole, at somewhat less intense schools like Maret, Burke, Field, SAES, Bullis, etc. [/quote] +2 This was our impression as well.[/quote]
