[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about O'Connell?[/quote]

You can get a good education at any of these schools. Students at the top of their classes go to great colleges.

People who go to not-so-great colleges have tremendous careers.

But the question was about schools with significant focus on academics.

[b]O'Connell and Ireton would not fit that description.[/quote][/b]

This is correct.  [b]Look at the test scores and compare to a public like Langley.[/b]  The Heights (just over the river - it runs a bus from NoVA) is the most academically rigorous but it is Opus Dei and your kid must be a self-starter.  If not, you will be counseled or advised out.  There is no hand holding.[/quote]
If you took the scores of just the O'Connell kids who come from homes similar to those that feed to Langley, I'm sure the SATs score would be comparable.

So why spend the thousands of dollars?[/quote]
Because it's a better fit for my kid and it's our money to spend? What's your concern?  [/quote]
