[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gonzaga has very strong academics.  It’s not an “easy” school.  The workload is much more intense than public, as are the expectations.[/quote]

Is Gonzaga really more intense than public school? I assume it is more structured and less chaotic. There seems to be more emphasis on taking kids with a strong Catholic background than students with top grades, etc. I doubt it is more rigorous than Whitman or Churchill High schools in Bethesda and Potomac [/quote]

Strong Catholic background boys have top grades.  Especially after the last two years.  Why?  Well - their Catholic schools have been open during Covid.  Public schools not only were not open, but had pathetic online schooling and admitted grade inflation.   You clearly are not at all familiar with Gonzaga curriculum- - and I would also think you have limited knowledge of the publics you mention - where every child can attend.

But please provide support on your assertion as to the academic credentials of students that attend a school you know nothing about.   We will wait.

I think she is just saying that if the emphasis is on taking kids who are from feeder schools, legacies and sports recruits, then you probably have a lot of middle of the pack kids. Nothing wrong with that but different emphasis than the top academic schools like Sidwell, GDS, St. Albans.
