[quote=Anonymous]If you want a Catholic school, Gonzaga is a much easier commute because of Oakton's proximity to the Vienna Metro. The Metro drops kids off a few blocks from Gongaga. Metro to Georgetown Prep is a much longer trek. (Oakton to Metro Center to Grosvenor) Non-Catholics, even non-practicing Catholics, are a small minority at both these schools, especially if you take out minorities. Both are where the old line Catholic families of DC send their sons. Athletics at Gonzaga are at a higher level than they are at Georgetown Prep because Gonzaga is much larger (1,000 vs. 500) and because it plays in the best DC area athletic conference bay far (The WCAC). Schools like Potomac and Flint Hill would seem to be an easier choice for a family living in Oakton. Beltway traffic, especially going across the Cabin John Bridge is a real bear. At both schools, a good athlete could play three sports. That's unheard of at Gonzaga and even at Prep.[/quote]
