The sport matters. At some schools, he won’t have any chance of making you JV depending on the sport.

The one they get into. Admissions from a public school is a crap shoot.

It depends on sport and if recruited or not.

+1. For some sports and at some schools, there is a good chance your kid won’t make the team or won’t play if not recruited. So a smaller school with more opportunities to play might be a better option. You need to give more information to get meaningful advice.

OP here — my DS is nationally ranked in a popular sport that most schools offer.

You can look at rankings for Catholic HSs in the area at the WCAC website. I would also hit Open House and talk to coaches. FYI- if you DC is nationally ranked, many of these coaches will be aware of DC.

Then you probably want to go to a school that has a strong team in that sport, right? We can't make suggestions unless we know what sport. The possible schools will be different if the sport is cross country vs football.

Catholic schools tend to be the strongest in most sports around here.

Ok, Secretive Sam. Nobody here can tell you much unless you name the actual sport.
