[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Your non-Catholic boy may be happier at Gonzaga, Prep or St Johns. Prep is a very good choice for football and baseball. My kid plays both plus one other sport and what I like is that he is supported as a multi-sport athlete by the coaches.  The academics are good (nor as good as Sidwell or STA) but on par with Bullis, Landon or Potomac.  My advice is to ignore DCUM. Take your kid to visit, apply, shadow, and then let him choose among the schools where he feels happiest.  My kid chose Prep over a Big 3 because of sports.[/quote]

Prep is a glorified WCAC school that intermittently competes in the IAC until its recruiting behavior and numbers advantage gets itself kicked out. Staying in the IAC gives it a perceived academic edge vs the WCAC schools ad allows it to charge twice the tuition of Gonzaga et al. But if it actually competed in the WCAC, it would be middle of the pack in most sports. If you want a catholic school, save your money and go WCAC. If not, and academics are more important, then go IAC or MAC. As others have said, aside from football, much recruiting is done outside of the school these days. [/quote]
