[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SSSAS is second tier private at best.  Ireton is better.[/quote]

NP. Looking at both because we don’t want to drive into DC for school. Why is BI better? Honestly, I thought they are both considered second tier? [/quote]

Ireton is third tier at best as far as Catholic high schools.  Good choice if in Alexandria.  That is all.  Not sure they should be throwing stones at others.[/quote]

The truth is that SSSAS and BI have similar academics. Same tier academically. Culturally, families at a $45,000 a year private are going to be wealthier than most families choosing a $18,000 school. [/quote]

We’ve been on both campuses as supporters of a visiting team.

The “cultural” differences seem pretty stark with the SSSA crowd being much more UMC.

BI is a typical suburban Catholic high school like O’Connell, Paul VI, and Good Counsel with a much broader assortment of families.[/quote]

I completely agree and acknowledge that this is a reflection of the price tag. However, academically these schools are on par with one another. [/quote]
