Georgetown Prep.

I went to Prep and only hu g out with kids from Catholic school or public school. I lived upcounty and never went to any country clubs. (My parents were full pay). Most of my friends were the same. I'm sure your country club had Prep kids, but just lol at one country club kid bashing the other for being snobby. Whatever. Your bubble is your own, PP.

LOL at those who think they can speak about something they know nothing about. I'm sorry you couldn't expand your world but many others could.

I'm the poster who went to the rival school but not the frog boiler. I don't think my assessment is the result of bias due to being a rival (frankly, Prep wasn't really our rival then in most athletics). Do you really think that people who attended the other IAC schools like Landon, Bullis, St. Albans, or St. Stephens (when it was still just St. Stephens), or the other major catholic/private schools like Gonzaga, GDS, Sidwell or Maret didn't spend plenty of time with our peers who attended Prep? We played sports together and against one another, were members at the same country clubs, went to the same parties, many of us went to elementary and middle school together and we all had friends (and people we didn't like) at each of these schools. Many of us shopped the other schools in that group before settling on the one that we chose.

So, regardless of your snide remark, I'd say folks who attended one of these schools are in a pretty good position to judge Prep. Frankly, probably better than Prep alums and I think we without the rose colored glasses of fondness for our own alma mater. And, I'll say it again, while none of these schools in that period had any shortage of entitled, arrogant assholes (in reflecting, neither myself nor my alma mater was innocent of that) and all of them also had plenty of great kids too, I found Prep to be the worst in terms of the assholes to decent kid ratio.

Just stop. Prep kids don't hang out with Sidwell, Maret SSSAS kids ever. When Landon and Prep are at the same party, the results are often fights. You clearly have no idea just how insular the Catholic community (that you claim to have had extreme amounts of exposure to) is when it comes to the schools they socialize with.

Prep and GDS kids at the same parties? Those two communities are polar opposites of one another and I promise you that 15-18 year old Catholic kids have no interest in anything GDS and you're as likely to see a unicorn eating grass in your front yard as seeing those schools at the same social gatherings/parties. A bit of hyperbole but you get the point.

Gonzaga; yes. The rest of the schools you mentioned; no. Unless you were at Stone Ridge, GZ SJC, GC, Visi, Holy Cross or Holy Child more than likely you have no idea what the Prep high school social scene is like outside of what you've read at the WaPo comment section or CBF talking about a gathering that nobody on earth except her remembers.

They clearly spent time hanging out with Holton girls.

Why not just teach your boys to act better, is it really that hard?

Prep kids rarely associate with Holton girls. That's Landon's sister school and they're not Catholic. Holton and Prep serve very different communities and you will rarely (I can't remember any) see a Prep kid with a sister at Holton. There are plenty of all girl Catholic schools in the region with very close and long standing ties to Prep. The sister school of their arch-rival is very far down the list of schools that they have any interaction with

Well this is a perfect example of your anecdotal experience does not prove to be true for the masses because court records show prep guys did party with Holton girls.

Being the school that produced Gorsuch and Kavanaugh is nothing to be proud of.

This thread jumped the shark. "Court records"?

There are, of course, no such "court records."

Only at prep does "court records" jump the shark but complete cover up of sex abuse case does not.

We Prep grads are proud. That Liberal ideologues don't, is your problem.

There’s plenty of other schools more receptive to you politics.

Prep and Mater Dei parents are so predictable.

Many of the articles about Kavanaugh often mentioned Gorsuch, Jerome Powell and other illustrious alumni and made reference to its average SAT score of 1386. The reality is that most families who considered Prep tended to support Kavanaugh, and many families concluded that, notwithstanding any of the bad publicity, the school must be doing something right to have produced two sitting SCOTUS Justices and the Federal Reserve Chair. Having a long history, great facilities and excellent athletics certainly does not hurt either. Interestingly, Prep is one of the only schools which publishes a matriculation list that details where each graduate will attend college.

Unsure of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh only has two young daughters — but Jerome sent his three kids (inc. only son) to Sidwell, not Prep.

Same, DC proper may be its own pretend world but VA and MoCo has everyone. Especially the community swim teams and travel sports.
