Same here! Although pretty sure the Potomac booster needed therapy before the thread was started.


Right, not the Gonzaga booster who kept replying trying to make Gonzaga happen. Only the Potomac poster is crazy. Classic response to deflect/insult when you have no facts support your arguments. I guess the Gonzaga parents are as intellectually weak as their kids.


There are multiple people responding. The craziness is your inability to see the value in anything except standardized test scores and college admissions. You are caught in very old-school, snobby ways of thinking about worth and value. You are willfully ignoring the FACTS about how many things besides just the school you go to impact things like standardized test scores and college admissions. Talk about intellectually weak!


Huh? Can you give out some metrics schools should be measured by? So far academically speaking Gonzaga isn’t all that.


Disagree. A Gonzaga student will have a very robust college app between academics, sports, service and civic engagement.


Once again, what are your metrics to measure the school as a whole? You said PP was very old-school for their thoughts about testing and scores for college admissions, but then you talk about the “robust college app” Gonzaga students will have. Last time I checked along with the stronger test scores, Potomac students also have great academics, play sports(winning multiple ISL tournaments) and have civic engagement.


We should come up with some new lists. Maybe an all around list (to include price, academics, sports, college placement and alumni, essentially best value). Then you can have specific lists for best sports, most well known, academics (maybe based on test scores though not the best metric) etc. I’m sure folks on this forum can come up with some new lists that are more relevant than recycling the same big three nonsense.

Subtract Potomac from best all around list as it doesn’t offer the opportunity to attend the Right to Life March.


At least you’re finally admitting your Catholic prejudice
