[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St John's College High School, it is in NW DC in a beautiful area, has a nice campus, but not so easy to get to via public transport (not near Metrorail, but is near a bus line).
Advantages-large student body, large alumni network, ROTC and other special programs including one for specific learning differences, diversity of classes available, excellent sports programs, Coed, much less expensive than many private schools
[b]Disadvantages-definitely religious, required religion classes[/b], however, lots of non-Catholics there, not a lot of encouragement of kids that are at all "different' i.e. interested in arts to a huge degree or having any real or perceived differences in sexual orientation (based on prior experience with a friend's daughter there), pretty rigid administration, not a huge number of really academically-inclined kids. Most admits to top 20 universities/Ivys are via athletic recruitment

Please look up from your narrow little notepad and be aware that many, many people would consider required religion classes and "definitely religious" to be a strong ADvantage.[/quote]

Calm down. OP specifically asked about the school for a non-Catholic. It doesn't matter what "many people" consider to be a strong advantage. PP was responding to OP's question.[/quote]
Non-catholic does not always equal non- religious.[/quote]
