[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone literally just posted on the other thread about girl schools that their country club is "full" of Visi and Gonzaga boys. So yes, Gonzaga is mostly country club parents.[/quote]

Gonzaga has 1000 boys. The zip code from which the most boys come is 22207 (Washington Golf). There's definitely a group of families that belong to that club and other clubs. But it's absolutely not the prevailing vibe of Gonzaga. We've been there 5 years and I know that it's too big and diverse (and yes, I know this board gets on Gonzaga for not being diverse enough) to say it's anywhere close to mostly country club kids.

Is it?? If so, that's traditionally a big change.  When my 50-something brother was in HS it was primarily DC & MD families (back in the 80s).  I do see a ton of GZ stickers in Arlington & Alexandria.  In the early 2000s there were a lot of young families moving out of DC to close-in VA so makes sense. Plus, the commute is quicker from some VA zips than actual DC zip codes.[/quote]
