| My DS is a soccer fanatic. While he is also very into academics, I think what drives him is the combination of being able to do both rigorously. Any recs for schools in DC that would allow him to do this? |

| Most of the Catholic schools. I think the Heights won last year‘s WCAC Championship in the year before that it was Gonzaga. Good council and Dematha, also St. John’s have very good teams. You can find good athletics at all these schools. |

This is a pathetically transparent fake post with the 3 second “response” Do better Rev “Academy”. |

| The best school for a kid who loves soccer is the one that challenges him the most academically. DO NOT make educational choices based on soccer. Your kid's chances of going pro and earning a living that will set him up for life are 0.0001% - and that's if he's already incredibly gifted and connected. Your kid's chances of needing a job outside of soccer are 99.9%. Prepare him for reality. |

| I don’t think I understand what you are asking. Are you talking about moving (schools and/or your home) so your kid can play middle school soccer? Have them play club soccer if they love it. I feel like I’m missing something. |

| In the area, travel soccer is far better than HS soccer. |

Query if your kid isn’t good enough to play elite club soccer if he would be good enough to make one of the elite HS teams in the first place.
If he is playing elite club soccer, I wouldn’t worry about the HS team (if his club team even allows him to play). College coaches primarily look to club and it’s generally more competitive. Just pick the school academics. |

Landon is terrible for soccer. The soccer coach has conflicts with travel coaches and demands talented kids prioritize school soccer.
Find a school with weak school sports requirements and join a strong travel team. |

I'm pretty sure it's not, and the first reply was sarcasm. |

| Do any of these schools provide partial scholarships to recruit top soccer players? |

| Most HS soccer is terrible. Find a good HS you like and pick a club that is near by |
