[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mater Dei and other dc Catholics pulled a bunch of spots at sta this year.  Some them are gunning for the close.  [/quote]

Two or three kids out of MD and the other Catholics is a small drop in the bucket.[/quote]

If the Catholics are not applying as claimed on this thread but those that do ALL pull STA there Might be something going on.  If 5 kids apply one year and shoot 100 percent, how long will it be until 40 apply and shoot 60?  [/quote]

Surprising as it may be to you, the Catholics want to go to Gonzaga and Prep and these are their their first choices. They don't apply to STA, not because they won't get in, but because they aren't interested in going there.[/quote]

Yeah, but they're not getting in. No way. Not after a parish school education.[/quote]

The May issue of Our Parish Times is out.  There are parish kids who got into STA and Sidwell.  Who knows, more may have gotten in and decided to go Catholic for less.  It is really fun to look through and see where the kids are going.  As you can see the vast majority are continuing on to Catholic High Schools.  [/quote]

Yes we have friends whose sons got in from a parish school technically - but they also did weekend school on top of that. Weekend and special summer school classes and camps. The typical parish education is not enough.[/quote]

I believe they call that remedial tutoring for struggling students. [/quote]
