Greensboro Day School Reviews
As for the student life, it is very heavily sports focused with less focus on the arts and academics. It is not very diverse, and students often appear to be unaware of their privilege and position in society due to being at a private independent school. GDS can often be more of a bubble than it intends to be. If one is able to look past this, they'll find that most of the students are fairly nice and respectful of other students, faculty, and staff.
