[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is Georgetown prep for DS who is into national level baseball. In 8th grade currently in public school, has been missing a couple weeks of school through the year for championships. Would you recommend Georgetown prep/ Good Counsel/ St John for DS to maintain good balance between academics and sports?[/quote]

Prep if he could get in - it’s a very academic school. They’re not going to take your kid if he’s not strong in the academics.

Honestly [b]I see kids who play sports at good private schools receiving athletic scholarships to top private schools that I don’t think that they could have gotten into otherwise. The average public school kid I see more going to state schools or schools you’ve never ever heard of[/b].[/quote]

Why the difference? I've heard this before but don't understand it. Is it because the teams are better at private schools because they recruit? [/quote]

For lacrosse and crew, those are 2 sports the private schools focus on.[/quote]
