[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interested in feedback on the following schools’ programs and any other boys crew programs people would recommend at private schools in DC.

Sidwell
St. Albans
Gonzaga 
Other?[/quote]

STA and Gonzaga are strong.  I am not sure Sidwell even has a program.  SJC has crew, but can't usually field a Varsity 8 boat, so they compete on 4-man and 2-man boats.

The others are ironically public school teams.  Jackson-Reed, Whitman and BCC are strong programs.

Just do a google search on DMV crew programs and you will get some WashPo articles on which teams did the best last year (and the years before that).[/quote]

I'm not in the DMV so I'm asking this seriously, why is it ironic that a public school has a good program? The public high school where I live won a national championship this past spring and had every senior go to a D1 school. Is it typically private schools in the area that do well? [/quote]

No, you are right. The other poster is wrong on that point and a few others in their post.

I am not wrong…I correctly pointed out the public schools have strong programs.

If you look at the schools competing at Head of the Charles or the other leading HS events it is still to this day 90%+ private schools, so it is unique that 50%+ of the best DMV crew programs are public schools.[/quote]

Head of the Charles doesn’t have a scholastic rowing event, it does have youth rowing, but those events are dominated by clubs that pull from multiple high schools.

The top rowing scholastic event (meaning all the kids in one boat have to go to one high school) is SRAA.   In the boys 8 final last year the finals were 1 public school and 5 private schools. In the girls 8 final last year were 4 public schools and 2 private schools. [/quote]
