Is it easier to get into GDS in 9th than other competitive schools? It seems that they take more new kids.

They take 6-10 from the list across all grade levels. That’s 1 kid per every 2 grades. We know a family that got in off wl pre pandemic. Order more admitted from the waitlist in the those times


Those numbers vary from year to year.

Well not enough spots for our child. Didn’t think we cared but I’m actually really disappointed. Probably because my child will be devastated. We have to go public now, and I’m really wary of how our local public is doing.

Much better shot to get into GDS than Maret for ninth grade.

I think its 50 but 30-35 this year after siblings. They admit siblings with a different application (different than other schools)

GDS takes a lot of kids in 9th. More so than most of the other schools. Good Luck!

I believe the person who interviewed my child for grade 9 said 35 spots. But maybe they accept 50, expecting some to turn it down. -- good luck!

Unclear if they are taking 50 new 9th graders or closer to 35.
