[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But doesn't the fact that BS kids get into Visitation and even non-Catholic independent schools undermine your argument? Even if they are not 100% prepared as you allege they are still being accepted at top high schools (although mostly Catholic schools I'd bet) in large numbers.[/quote]

Gonzaga, Visi and GPrep = LEGACY.   well, and sports potential.   I wouldn't assume it's because the BS candidate brought down the house with test scores and essay answers. [/quote]

Okay, I  have to chime here.  I have children at two of those high schools (and accepted at the third). No legacy, whatsoever. Yes good test scores, I think their essays were good – for an 8th grader. They play sports but definitely not recruited – might start some games, might not play at all. 
Anyway, nine (I think) girls went to Visi last year. Few more were accepted and went to Stone Ridge. Each year a couple of students go to BCC or other MD public, but most everyone else is accepted to a Catholic high school.  (No one chooses Wilson.)  More and more go to St. John’s, many to their honors program. There is not a problem with BSS academics, IMO.  They do not cater to learning differences, though, so that could be an issue.
Can’t really speak to the other independents, but most boys from Catholic middle schools would find no reason to, say, choose STA over Prep.
