[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That’s 12. Not a very big number when compared to 125 seniors at Prep, 250 at Gonzaga, another couple of hundred at St. John’s.

For STA, I guess 12 is a lot of Catholics. But it’s a very small fraction of the total number of Catholics at private schools in DC/MD. (.2%?)

I’m guessing the Catholic families that send their sons to STA aren’t really part of the larger, somewhat insular Catholic community. The great majority of whom consider only the Catholic schools as a place to send their kids.[/quote]

What a weird response.  At STA, which is not a Catholic school!!!, 12 is 15% of a class (so a solid percentage).  Do you actually believe that describing the local Catholic community as “insular” is positive?  The boys I know at STA attend mass and were confirmed - does that qualify them as part of your Catholic community?[/quote]

You consider the response above because you are not getting it.

If you understood more about Catholics in this area, you would know many, if not most, are deeply committed to the Catholic schools. They have strong allegiances to the high schools. They rarely consider non-Catholic private schools.

These few Catholic boys at STA are a tiny fraction of Catholic high schoolers. My guess is their families aren't from the area. They are more concerned with impressing their law partners or neighbors than they are going along with their fellow parishioners.[/quote]

Huh?  What the heck is with that snark?
STA is worlds better academically than Prep or Gonzaga.

STA may be. But 99% of local Catholics prefer Prep, Gonzaga and St. Johns.[/quote]
