Boooooooooooo. Sucks. Bad. Join SIDWELL FRIENDS SCHOOL. My child was harassed.
Posted by a parent on 5/17/2023If you want to work for money, then, welcome come to GDS. If you wish to work with passion, then, never consider here because your passion will fade soon when you begin to work with the leadership here. They treat POC badly and is a very whiteness and wealthy oriented place. But if you are white and
Posted by a teacher on 5/25/2021I have two girls in GDS, both in lower school and both are thriving! The teachers are excellent and learning goes well beyond the classroom. My Kindergartner's teachers were fantastic! They developed special units that went beyond your standard math and reading. I was especially impressed with the r
Posted by a parent on 11/25/2018I am a current parent to two GDS students and I couldn't be happier with the school. My kids are very different from each other and GDS is the perfect fit for both of them. GDS gives a well-rounded education and fosters a genuine love of learning. My daughters love going to school and thrive in the
Posted by a parent on 10/11/2017Be sure that you realize everything the school teaches children before sending your child there. My child was thrown an iPad in his lap daily to learn math and English. They watched numerous videos and TV shows during the regular school day. The School is extremely progressive. They do not introduce

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe are leaving Janney and a large number of families of children above grade 2 are, as well. Principal Danielle Singh has created a culture of no accountability, including allowing an abusive teacher to continue teaching after three years of bad behavior (including refusing to allow students to receive accommodations and services as required by law). Staff and families find her non-responsive, afraid of conflict to the point of inaction, and focused only on optics and her own personal goals. Several of our best teachers are leaving or planning to leave, as well. Families who have younger children at Janney as well as older children who went to Janney before the principal changed speak regularly to how different it is now under Singh. The community and PTA are wonderful, and lower grade teachers are generally better regarded than upper grade teachers. Special education students, in particular, are considered a burden and the staff routinely pass the buck when working with them.Other Review10mo ago - Hearst Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt could be a good school however it is not. Parents are able to come on the school grounds and discipline students that are not their own students. There is limited diversity and plenty of unfairness and inequity here. Some teachers hold back students recommendations for months on at a time. Some students are able to get away with things. Some voices are heard while other voices are ignored. There is fairness at this school. There is plenty of inequality at this school.Other Review1y ago - Beauvoir - The National Cathedral Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs an first gen immigrant who went to Sidwell from fifth to twelfth grade, I have to say that it was a pretty great experience. While the academics are challenging, it's somewhat my fault considering I took all of the advanced classes which were offered in the upper school. Playing on the varsity tennis team was a great experience, and some of the teachers, such as Mr. Sotela and Mr. V in the MS were great in all aspects. I highly recommend that you send your child if you think a rigorous but rewarding education is what they require to flourish.Other Review2y ago - Psychiatric Inst Of Washington (Sped)
