[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gonzaga is a decent school. Literally every kid who applies gets in. If you want a better value for the buck, apply to Prep or STA as they are more selective, better in athletics and academics.[/quote]

FWIW, I know a boy who was rejected (I don't have any sons there).  Really good athlete but not great grades.  Went to a diocesan high school.[/quote]

Same poster again.  Didn't read the rest of the post.  Gonzaga is way less expensive than Prep and a few thousand less than St. Anselms, so hard to say Prep and St. Anselms are a "better value for the buck."  They may be more selective, but I can't imagine anyone saying St. Anselms has better athletics than Gonzaga.  It is too small to field teams in some sports, and it generally does not attract serious athletes.  For some, of course, that is a plus (it gives serious students who want to play sports more casually a better chance to participate).   St. Anselms has really impressive academics but can be a difficult commute.  If your friends look through this forum, OP, they will find a lot of differing views about how good the academics are (or aren't) at Prep.

If your friends are serious about a Catholic education, and particularly if they lean more orthodox, have them give  Oakcrest and the Heights a look.  [/quote]
