[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for the top few (5) Catholic High Schools in the Falls Church/Arlington/McLean/Vienna areas based on academics. I know "most academic" is tough to pin point but I'm looking for best teachers, best curriculum, best college prep and placement etc. [/quote]

There are three you should consider.

The most academically-focused is St Anselm's.

Then there are the two Jesuit high schools; Gonzaga College High School and Georgetown Prep. Both of these schools serve a range of students from the very bright and highly-motivated to the average student. Both offer a more multi-faceted high school experience than does St Anselm's.

Gonzaga is located a few blocks from the US Capitol on N. Capitol St and is easily accessible via Metro. It is decidedly an urban campus.

Georgetown Prep is located in Rockville on Rockville Pike. It's not an urban environment.

Both of these schools send a fair number of students to top colleges especially Jesuit schools (Georgetown, BC, Holy Cross, etc).

Both schools have large, local, loyal alumni followings. St Anselm's is much smaller.

You should visit all three schools as they are different kinds on experiences.

Beyond these three there are a number of other Catholic high schools that serve primarily average students including St John's, O'Connell, and Paul VI.[/quote]
