[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was admitted to the school for middle school.
I haven’t heard much on this list regarding the school.
What are people’s opinions of the school? I am interested in a school with substantial academic rigor, focused on the whole child and has a strong sports program. We are not originally 
from the DC area and we are not catholic but I thought the open house was good and the teachers seemed engaged and cared about the children.
I welcome opinions.

We are deciding between this school and a highly regarded dc charter school.

This feels a little hard to square, honestly.

By the time a family has actually been admitted to St. Anselm’s, they have usually already gone through a pretty substantial admissions process and gotten to know the school fairly well through interviews, visits, application materials, and direct interaction. So it is a little surprising to see a post framed as though the family is still looking for the most basic general impressions.

Also, St. Anselm’s gets discussed on this forum with some regularity, so “I haven’t heard much on this list” does not quite ring true either.

Not saying the question is illegitimate, but it reads a bit more like a generic prompt than like a post from someone who has actually just completed the admissions process. If the poster is real, it would probably help to ask more specific questions — for example about workload, culture, sports, commute, Catholic character, or how it compares with the particular charter school under consideration.[/quote]
