[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Terrible academics. Really bottom of the barrel Catholic school.   Many better Catholic high schools —> STJ, GP, SR, Gonzaga, Visi, OLGC, maybe even BI. Don’t waste your money. [/quote]

To paraphrase Dwight from The Office, “False!”  Are GP, GZ, SR and Visi better on the whole?  Probably, but if co-Ed is important then they don’t fit the bill.  They are also not in VA.  SJC is great if you’re in the Benilde program. But I think the difference between SJC and DJO is more about location than it is quality.  DJO has a better reputation than BI and PVI.  OP, if you are interested go tour it.  We did last year and I was more impressed than I thought I would be. My DC did not go there but we are friends with 8 or 10 families that are current students.  No it’s not “terrible academics” nor is is noticeably conservative.  It’s Catholic so you will find some conservatives.  But it’s also Arlington so it draws from a center left population.  It’s a big enough school most kids can find their tribe.  [/quote]
