[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question, is it difficult to get into SJC if you are not catholic and are not coming from catholic school?[/quote]

Yes. It's become a very popular school. If you believe the private school board, they received nearly 1000 applications for the incoming 9th grade class.

But if you bring something to the table that they need (athletic skills) that helps. They also care about diversity; about 50% of their student body is African American and students who are interested in their JROTC program.[/quote]

Wow! Almost 50% of students are African-American? I’m genuinely surprised by this stat. With almost 1100 students enrolled, that means around 500 students. A quick run through their website doesn’t reflect this.

Wilson is: 
35% Black
31% White
23% Latino
7% Asian

Regardless of the number, it's a very diverse private school. Much more so than Wilson actually.[/quote]

Clearly not. What is the Latino percentage? What is the percentage of students whose families would qualify for free/reduced meals. Are there any Muslim students? 
You can love SJC ‘til the cows come home. That is your right and I fully support it. But you cannot come here and purposely lie that SJC has either greater racial or socio-economic diversity. No way, no how. [/quote]

I'm not the PP.

But the Latino(a) number is listed.

They have many (at least 6) ADW schools that send kids to SJC that are 100% free. Many other schools that are not free but have FA, so the FARM #'s are not available but they have a lot of full scholarship children that are not athletes.

Religions diversity is low, basically 90% + Christian. [/quote]
