[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The GDS culture is simply amazing! Rigorous academics, incredible arts, so nurturing, and the social Justice values! GDS was founded as the first integrated top private in DC.[/quote] Founded as a "top private"? What does that even mean? How can a brand new school bill itself as a "top" school? Maybe PP meant to say elite or expensive which in itself is a coded and classist philosophy.[/quote] I went to GDS when it was not a top private. The high school was on MacArthur Blvd where the River School is now. It was just a school with great teachers and really smart kids. No social status at all. The parents were architects, journalists, public interest types, some high level bureaucrats and a smattering of lawyers. Sports were a joke, but we took our drugs very seriously. Good times.
