My kid got accepted to Prep, GZ, and SJC. Chose GC because it offer more academically.

Hahahahaha
Sure if you want your kid to have a medicore experience with MAGA.

I'm pretty sure Prep has the highest Maga population.

Edit- GC, not GD.

FWIW, a bunch of kids at our Catholic K-8 whose families are not from the area (ie., not legacies, don't have a lot of preexisting opinions of all the schools) and GD is the top choice for many of them, including the strongest student in the class.

I think the stem program and atmosphere really blew them away. I have never seen the school and don't know a ton about it since its well out of our geography, but they all have raved about it.

What do you mean by that? Were/Are there lots of MAGA supporters at GC?

Just because they are farther from the city does not mean that they have MAGA. Snobbish much???? They are also a much more diverse school than Prep or GZ so again I doubt they are the hub of MAGA.

I'm so sorry you didn't make the cut for admission. You'll be okay and someday you won't carry such a big chip on your shoulder.

Its always been - meh

If we lived closer we would have chosen GC. It really seemed like a great school. Loved the contacts I had there. Also, compared to SJC they actually give accommodations without acting like they are doing you a favor.

What does this mean?

Yes. Agree with the "stop it" - why put schools down that are serving kids so well? And as you say, high achievers can thrive at GC too.
