[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For high performing students, the W school will be stronger academically, particularly in math and science. For students that are self-motivated, smart, and ambitious, there's a good cohort of similar-minded students at each of the W schools. Plus all the AP classes they could ever want. But these are large public schools. They work better for confident students who can self-advocate. If the student isn't especially ambitious or needs a little more hand-holding, St. Johns would be better. And I think the good privates are generally better in English. So a humanities kid may prefer St. Johns over a W.  [/quote]

A good question then to ask Catholic HSs is: how many of your teachers are certified? It may make a difference. You have to weigh it all. A highly experienced older English teacher at SJCHS may be a wonderful master educator. Another SJCHS English teacher, age 23 and with no certification, and inexperienced, may not be what families are looking for.[/quote]
