[quote=Anonymous]I have a boy in one of these schools and I've lived in DC almost my whole life.  "Story Lady" -- who is a little odd, if you ask me, first claining to be new to the area and then spouting all sorts of opinions about the various schools, seems primarily interested in Catholic schools, and that's fine.  But, I don't think you can compare most of the Catholic schools with the other major privates because you're talking about a different kind of parent body, a different school culture (conservative, which is a turnoff for a lot of folks around here), and a whole different approach to education.  Sure, the Catholic schools do very well in sports, and some of them are solid academically (Gonzaga, for one).  But, with the exception of St. Anselm's (where my son was accepted but did not choose to attend), they're just not as strong academically as St. Albans and Landon and the other co-ed schools like GDS, Sidwell etc.  So if you're only interested in Catholic Schools and REALLY interested in sports, sure, GP might be a fine choice, but don't fool yourself that its academics are as strong as other places.[/quote]
