[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Visitation is the favorite all girls school of a particular group of native Washington Catholics, many of whom are in the professions. Stone Ridge is probably Visitation's biggest competitor for students and not the secular or non-Catholic religious school. Major feeder schools include Blessed Sacrament, Our Lady of Mercy and the other parish schools located in NWDC and Bethesda and Potomac in Montgomery County. [b]There are also girls from Virginia[/b] because of the easy access to Georgetown from some areas of Virginia.

There are lots of alumni locally and as a result lots of legacies attending the school.  The alumni remain a tight-knit group after graduation. Where you went to high school is bigger deal here in DC than other metropolitan areas in the US.

Gonzaga, the Jesuit high school in downtown DC, is seen by many as Visitation's brother school.

Sports are a big deal which is not uncommon for a Catholic school of just about any stripe.

Visitation has plenty of clout with schools like Georgetown, Boston College and Notre Dame. [/quote]

The bolded is misleading as in my DD's class at Visi there are the same number of girls from VA (50) and MD (50) and far fewer from DC proper (20).  [/quote]

Surprised by amount of VA girls vs DC girls, but DC people may prefer Sidwell/NCS/STA because of more DC cachet.[/quote]
