[quote=Anonymous]We had two kids go through SJC  - not recruited athletes - I hated the open house and was against my older child going but she insisted and it turned out great for her and her sibling. Both were well prepared for college at competitive slacs. Neither was part of the party scene - any school this size is going to have some partiers - it is a relatively small group and neither of my kids felt oppressed by any kind of '80s type cool kids scene.  It is rigid (as are most catholic schools) - overall I looked at it like a hybrid - way cheaper than a private independent school, but in many ways good and bad more like a good public school which suited my kids well as teens.  We are catholic but not conservative and didn't feel like fish out of water.  Our experience was very positive re: getting the higher level classes that my kids wanted despite not being in the honors program.  In certain cases they let us take a summer on-line class to get a prereq that my child needed.[/quote]
