I call VBA. Why did you apply if you don't know about the school.

It depends on what other school you're considering and what your child is like. Everyone I know at GDS loves it. It's a very well-respected school. Motivated students can get a great education there, but kids who need direction and structure might be better off elsewhere.

Please stop with the sports fallacy.


I'm not the PP, but what she/he said is accurate. GDS is mediocre athletics. How can you refute that? And in terms of a balance between academics and athletics, few can rivals NCS and STA.

DC 1st grade - turned down GDS for Norwood. Progressivee is good. But no structure is not good.

I think GDS have excellent academics and arts but not very good at sports.

We turned down an acceptance offer for pre-K at GDS (thought it was a great school but too far from us). DC will be going to another "Big 3" school that is closer to home.

Welcome to DC. Try the search function. GDS is described all over the board.
