So a large majority of kids come from families that can spend $40k-46k in after tax dollars for at least one kid to go to school. Many of those families have multiple kids at the school. Sounds pretty Richie Rich to me.

So what. No one cares what something sounds to you. Someone somewhere will always be richer, smarter, stronger, faster than you. bFD.

Go start your own school and country with socialized everything.

GDS is the best of both worlds, socialist values without actually having to rub elbows with working class people.

This is true. GDS likes to think they are the nice elites unlike the elites at schools like St. Albans, NCS and Landon.

One parent was recently reported to the counselor bc she was trying to play a game by starting a nonprofit and saying her kids did it. This was in the context of resume padding. But that was unusual at gds. my daughter works hard but has a busy social life.

Wtf? Spill more deets?

More interesting to me is that she was tattled on by another parent...Sounds like a very nice community you have there.

"Tattled?" Oh, please. Good for the parent who turned the liar in.

You are confused. It’s social Justice values and GDS is second to none in DEI leadership.

i'm a graduate. I know what I'm talking about.

Please name some schools in this area that have your definition of "true diversity."

St John’s college prep school. Coed.

Range of concentration of various races
Range of concentration of SES
Differentiation of academic levels - Ld and gifted
Range and concentration of athletics and ECs/clubs
Range of college relationships and acceptances: ivies, state schools, slacs, Catholic colleges, military academies/jr rotc
Range of politics amongst student body / politics
50% Catholics, 50% not
Half suburban students, half urban.

And they wear uniforms so that equalizes things in the classroom and minimizes distractions

Many public schools. By definition private schools are not diverse. Sure they may be minority majority, but a majority of those minorities are from 1 percenter families

not even public schools which are by definition segregated based on geography, home prices, SES, race...

Everywhere in the world.

Actually it’s call subsidizing or price discrimination.

Why not lower tuition?

This is a common .marketing technique called skimming. Charge the most to those who can pay it. Charge less to those who cannot. Just make sure you get ALL the money.

PreK - $40k
Grade 12 - $46k
