GDS is an extremally nice and well rounded school. It is packed with challenging courses and great faculty and staff who work diligently to ensure that students are ready for college and obtain the opportunity to pursue their own path. With that said, as someone who has attended the school for six years now, coming in seventh grade, I find that the school has it's weaknesses. To start the food at GDS is not what it once was, while it is still superior to that of the public schools in the area the cost to quality and meal size ratio is unsettling. In addition there is a very noticeable lack of school spirit from the student body, and while the school and a hand full of student are working to raise school spirit it is still something to be addressed. Ultimately GDS is a great school and community that is very close and will not only prepare you for what is next but also allow you to form strong long lasting bonds with class and school mates.
I have always been academically driven, and going here has been one of the best choices I have ever made. For the first time, it seems like all the students in my classes care about getting a good education, which means there are no distractions. The teachers are excellent, and this may be the highlight of the school. They will answer all of your questions, and are committed to helping students succeed in their classes. Many of our sports teams consistently win state titles, and students regularly get the chance to play sports in college. Overall, the atmosphere is just what I was looking for when choosing a high school. It is a fairly small school, so I know everyone in my grade as well as most others attending. The tuition can be relatively expensive, but they do offer financial aid so more families can send their children their (this was the case with my family). Overall, I can't think of anything I find negative about GDS, and would encourage anyone to check it out.
Overall a good school with great academic qualities. The people do lack some realization of entitlement, but overall a warm and friendly school. Most teachers are superior at their jobs and the math teachers are much better than most in the Guilford County Schools area. The campus is beautiful, with a new middle school and an excellent theatre. The library is enormous which a state of the art computer lab and two art rooms along with an outdoor cilm. They also let the students of the different levels converse with each other and help them to become closer through things such as the Bengal Games. Go Blue Team!
