[quote=Anonymous]I am going to assume that the OP is actually looking for information and not trying to stir the pot.

If you value "matriculation" above all other things in a HS experience I would say that St. John's as well as all the other WCAC schools are not a good fit.

St. John's and many other WCAC schools are more about the whole development of many different children. If you only want you kids in a school that are HPY focused this is not a good school for you.

St. John's is the type of school that a HPY child can go to school with their learning disabled sibling. They have a program called Binilde that is for children with learning disabilities. They also have an honor program and everything inbetween.

I think St. John's and their community would be more apt to brag about the amount of alumni that go into the world and serve others than went on to HPY.

The St. John's community would never look down on an acceptance list with multiple children getting into the University of Maryland, and it is insane that UMCP is not listed on the college acceptance list on their website. That is crazy! Why? Because the alum that just built the stadium at St. Johns went to the University of Maryland College Park (you would know him as the guy that started Under Armour).

If you are looking for a academic boot camp, St. Johns is not your school.

That being said I know a St. Johns student who went to Yale, plays soccer and is Jewish. So it is really close to impossible to say "what type of student does well at St. Johns". I can say that a family that would be ashamed of a University of Maryland acceptance would not do well at St. Johns.[/quote]
