I hope all of your lacrosse questions have been answered, but if not reach out to someone you know to get what you need. If lacrosse is THE top concern when making this decision, Visi might not be the right place for you. There is so much more to the Visi experience than sports. Come out to the Gold-White events on Saturday and see what it’s all about. I think you’ll see why it is such a special place that is the first and only choice for many girls. Good luck!

Visi has a good shot at landing two more really good players. Maybe the same ones referenced above. Hope it works out. We need young talent.

A good Pride midfielder is definitely coming.

Glad we are getting one good player. Is that it from the 2028 Class? No Stars? No MD players?

Why would any of the MD players choose Visi over the better schools in the IAAM?

PP almost certainly means MD players from Montgomery County (e.g., those who live in Bethesda, Chevy Chase, etc.).

If I lived in Montgomery County, I would chose Good Counsel any day over driving into D.C. daily. The lacrosse is equal.

The education (I.e.why a kid goes to school) isn’t even close though. GC academics are mediocre at best. Visi is much better.

In truth all the mainstream DMV Catholic Independents and Privates are far superior academically to OLGC.

They don’t have nearly the STEM opportunities that GC has.

They absolutely do. You should check your source's info.

PP here. I could be wrong but I’m not aware of a nationally recognized STEM program at Visi.

Yes, they tried to sell me on that, too. When I then looked up the most well regarded lists of top schools, including USNWR, GC was nowhere to be found. Good luck getting your daughter in ahead of a Visi girl. And btw, whether you heard of a school having a nationally recognized STEM program doesn't mean they don't have the same STEM opportunities.

GC should just be real with itself and everyone else they are trying to become the IMG of the Mid-Atlantic so athletic-focused that the education is no better than an average public school education except you way overpay for it.

PP and I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic. Was not aware that program was not highly regarded. The stats they market are impressive. But from your perspective this is not a good STEM program?

As opposed to what? Every ADW school in the area is a little too focused on sports, except maybe AHC.

The main difference between GC and Visi college placement is socioeconomic status. It’s not that complicated. Visi has more affluent parents with more money who attended more prestigious schools and their kids are more like to do the same. All of the GC parents I know have attended flagship state universities, which is not a bad thing but also functionally different and their kids also seem more interested in attending flagship state schools.

Same old story - if you can't beat them on the field, try to in the classroom.

It is not very difficult to beat GC in the classroom...
