[quote=Anonymous]SJC is a completely different place than it was 25 years ago and it just keeps getting better and better.  Before the early 90's, it was a place to go if a boy couldn't get into Gonzaga. Since then, it has gone co-ed, made ROTC optional, built beautiful facilities, recruited high-achieving students for its Honors Program, etc.

The advantages of SJC are: 1) it has a comprehensive and diverse student body, everything from special ed to regular to honors; 2) it is diverse in terms of race, class, economics, etc.; 3) it is very well run; 4) it has a lot of tradition and school spirit and great sports teams.

The downside (for some), is that it is a traditional Catholic school and somewhat rigid in its approach to education, and perhaps it puts too much emphasis on sports.  But, if your child does not mind conforming a bit, he or she will do well, and being non-Catholic is not an issue, so long as the student (and family) are not resistant to being exposed to the Catholic tradition.
