Why is Good Counsel so Popular Now??

My son chose it over Gonzaga and Prep. Liked the modern facility and AP/IB program. College choices are looking very promising.

It’s not a public and low pressure. They can kick out slackers or problem kids raising everybody’s experience. Great demand for common sense plus it helps your kid get into heaven.

OLGC is looked at by almost all of the other privates as a glorified public school. The Academics are not nearly as rigorous the focus is more on athletics than on academics. And the athletic teams have also garnered a reputation amongst the other WCAC schools as not having good sportsmanship. I have witnessed this personally and that lack of sportsmanship was condoned and encouraged by the coaching staff.

? Gonzaga defecates in the stands when they lose, they also destroyed the stand at Catholic. I'm not sure you have seen other schools sportsmanship.

Same with my son, he toured at prep and did not like it . Lots of racists jokes, we withdrew our application.

I understand that everyone has their own perspective, Good Counsel has been an outstanding choice for us. The combination of modern facilities, a rigorous IB program, and a focus on college readiness has been truly transformative for my son. His college prospects are stronger than ever, and we're thrilled with the opportunities this school has provided.

Wheaton alum here. We looked at GC for our daughter but I agree that's its basically become a public school with uniforms and a chapel.

This is completely untrue. Opposing WCAC fans often talk about how welcoming GC's home environment is. Stop making stuff up.

My son shadowed at Prep and GC. Hated the bro culture at Prep and went to GC. He's headed unhooked to an Ivy. No regrets.

Privates aren’t kicking kids out as quickly as you imply. So many litigious parents in the DMV it takes a while to counsel out students, especially if they are full pay
