[quote=Anonymous]Seems to me that “Reputations” are the vague impressions of the people that don’t count. They don’t count because their level of understanding of these schools is so thin.

This question demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of Catholic schools in this area. What qualities or attributes would cause one school to be seen better than another? And why would this ranking matter to anyone?

Reputations are vague impressions people have and most of them are clueless about what those reputations are based on.

St. John’s might be seen by some as not as good as Prep. But those who understand the schools and their alumni base might not agree. The DC area is filled with St John’s alumni who have had extremely successful careers and are loyal supporters of the school. Just walk around the SJC Campus and see the names on the new buildings and athletic facilities that have been donated. SJC alums own and run some of the biggest companies in the area especially in the construction and real estate industries.

I’m a Prep alum and I don’t feel the school is better than Gonzaga or DeMatha. It’s just different.
