Not what you thought it would be?

I believe it.

There are so many wrong impressions of Prep and all these schools.

They are based on people's biases, their experiences in other places, something they were told or read and to a degree what they wish were true about these schools.

There's always someone on DCUM to give their unique experience that belies the general rule.

Are there kids at these schools that aren't typical of the student population but that still have good experiences? Sure!

I suspect many of those that are confused or unaware at the beginning of the Admissions process are not from this area or are new to the world of the local private schools. Most of the locals know lots about these schools including who sends their kids to them, what the kids are like, what the alumni are like and what the history of the place has been.

If you are applying to schools with only a foggy understanding of what they are really like, then you're setting yourself up for disappointment. It's probably good you figured it out before you enrolled your DS.

Hey Pope Pompous the I, can’t believe my eyes reading about how the YT Catholic people in the know, know. How about the schools advertise correctly? Put upfront the number of hours of religious instruction, homework and extracurricular activities? That’s sufficient information. The only other information I have is from the public hearings of Cult Amy and 🍺 Breath and that ain’t a positive.

You consider the response above because you are not getting it.

If you understood more about Catholics in this area, you would know many, if not most, are deeply committed to the Catholic schools. They have strong allegiances to the high schools. They rarely consider non-Catholic private schools.

These few Catholic boys at STA are a tiny fraction of Catholic high schoolers. My guess is their families aren't from the area. They are more concerned with impressing their law partners or neighbors than they are going along with their fellow parishioners.


Huh? What the heck is with that snark?
STA is worlds better academically than Prep or Gonzaga.

+1000
Plenty of Catholic adults value their faith and want the best academic environment for their kids.

What does it even mean to go along with fellow parishioners? The PP is a nut.

Catholics hold the highest offices in this country: President and Supreme Court justices.

Jesuits are known for their educational institutes, as well as social justice.

No issue with Jesuits, at least in as far as Georgetown is run today. More heavy handed than that needs a disclosure

+1 I let the religious bashing roll right off my back.

You think using YT is ok?
Sub in any other group and you would write like this?
Doubtful. (I am not Catholic or at Prep btw).

You can't be helped!

The questions you are answering will tell you little of the school and the experience.

If you are are going to be offended by those who have the polar opposite reaction to the Kavanaugh hearing, it's best you stay away from Prep and Gonzaga and St. Johns.

Maybe disclose that too. No offense. But mind boggles

Brett Kavanaugh is revered by his classmates, those who taught him, by his neighbors and everyone who has known him. This includes Blousey’s parents.

I don’t think Prep is going to put that in their brochures. Everyone in town pretty much knows that.

I wish Squee would quit dcum.

I can assure you Brett is not “revered” outside of your little cult

You mean the parents sacrificed their daughters and sided with the perp. The community shamed the female victim? Where have I heard that many times before?? Oh yeah. Ireland Iran

You know nothing about me or anyone else. You are an obtuse, ignorant, and insignificant.

From listening to everyone, some kids would die for admission into Prep and it is a very well regarded school. Has anyone else's DS declined their offer to Georgetown Prep? What school did they end up accepting and why? Do they regret making that decision?

My takeaway from this smoldering heap is that your son is wiser than the dcum and Squee combined
