Georgetown Prep is taking a beating with this Kanvanugh scandal...does it deserve it?

Anonymous
I am pretty new to the area and have only heard good things about the school. I have a PreK DS and it would be my high school of choice for him when the time comes if I can afford it. Is the school still as bad as Mark Judge friend makes it sound in his writings from the 80's.

I'm not trying to bash the school at all. I'm catholic educated from 1st grade to college and have a DD in catholic high school as well. And again, GP will be the school of choice for my DS if the decision is left to me. So not bashing. I'm really just wondering about what locals who have experience with the school and the students.

I would not send my kids there. I am Catholic and a local educator and there are schools that do a better job educating young men to be respectful and to care about others.

No way would I send my kids there.

I don’t think it’s unique. I imagine Landon and other schools are similar.

My husband went there and now our son goes there. DH said the culture has changed dramatically. Kavanaugh went there 36 years ago for gods sake.

OP back. Really? I really believe and support Catholic education and from the moment I moved here, I heard GP was the best place for boys. I really didn't consider Gonzaga because of the DC location. Avalon seemed to small and something about Landon seemed to privileged.

And if anyone is wondering why I'm asking for my 5 year old, I like to make plans, even 8 years out.

All boys schools are kind of like this.

I am not Catholic but I have met a lot of nice boys from Prep. Georgetown Prep does not deserve a bad rap. Like I said in another thread, Holton-Arms where my daughter attends school should not judge Kavanaugh adn the school should not take an opinion. Susanna Jones sounds like she is a me too mommy, however, should realize everyone does not not have her views.

Wasn’t there a thread about how fabulous it was for GP to have another SCOTUS nominee? And now not so much...

Frankly, I think Holton is going to come out looking worse.

Yes Prep had and still has a bad reputation among the Catholic schools in the ADW.

It is the Landon of Catholic schools.
