[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school values athletics but it's hard to recruit the way other schools do bc STA won't lower their admission standards (or at least by much), and it's a very academically rigorous school. This is not to say you can't get a great education at Prep, Landon, Bullis, St. John's, or Gonzaga -- absolutely you can.  So the boys who are choosing to go there (or who are being admitted) are a smaller subset of the overall athlete pool.  They are the boys who are able to be admitted and also willing to take on the rigor of the academics in addition to their athletic commitments.  This is not an easy balancing act, but for those who can check all of those boxes, the reward can be a pretty desirable college placement.    [/quote]

St Albans academics are heads and tails over the others. There is no comparrison. Gonzaga LOL [/quote]

It's funny to me that many people believe the HS with which you come from is the end game when actually what HS you come from means almost zero once you become an adult (news flash..every coach out there groups "DC privates" as the same). Where you go to University does matter more as an adult (although not nearly as much for most schools as people think). The best paths to achieve this are different for many kids.  If athletics can help with that, then that is a viable path. I think very little of so-called "academic rigor" of a HS when I don't feel it really has anything to do with one's success as an adult nor will it matter to those that are using athletics as a path to the best university available to them.[/quote]
