[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your family Catholic?  What are the other high school options for your DD?  I would not send my DD to Visi -- the academics are behind other private schools (even all girls schools) and the school is just not worth the money.  Compare the academic offerings at Visi to other schools and you will see this.  Plus consider the college placement.  [/quote]

Why is this poster bad-mouthing Visi without any facts?    "just not worth the money"  "academics behind other private schools"

The facts are that Visi has very rigorous academics for those taking the Honors/AP track.  And Visi's college placement clearly shows that the academics are rigorous.  My DD is a very recent grad and below are some college placements for her class.  If you do as the PP says and "consider the college placement" you would certainly not find Visi lacking in any way.   SR also has good college placement.

+1. SR will cost you $36,000 more than Visi for four years of high school.    If you are comparing "value" then I'd take the significant tuition difference into account.  [/quote]
