[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The average SAT score of seniors at Gonzaga is no higher than the better public schools in Montgomery, Fairfax and Arlington.  So how competitive can admissions really be?[/quote]

Because in addition to the cohort of high achieving 99th percentile types from places like the Arlington diocese, there’s a cohort from the Washington diocese who have various backgrounds and abilities. And a cohort of athletes who have a variety of scores. There are kids have parents who don’t speak English. The Jesuit mission means they serve many communities. It’s one of my favorite parts of the school. My boys met the rich country club types, of course, but it’s much more diverse than that.

This board tends to get the parents of the top scorers or with means to take HSPT prep but the actual class will be more diverse than that. We just don’t hear from/about them on DCUM that much. So no surprise the average SAT isn’t just reflective of the top kids we hear about here. [/quote]
