[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son went there for baseball several years ago.  He was good player but not excellent enough.  It was clear he didn’t have a path forward on the team.  Also, the baseball team, and I assume other sports there, is an all life-encompassing, high pressure thing for the kid and the family.   He transferred back to our DCPS high school after freshman year and loved his last 3 years of high school. Now at a great college.  However, the study habits and organizational skills he learned at SJC helped him succeed so it’s a mixed bag.[/quote]
My DD does another sport, and has a completely different experience. It was not at all encompassing or stressful. The team had weekly meets during the season and practices were “required”, but the coaches were very relaxed about the requirements. Kids missed practices or meets for various reasons, and it was not a big deal at all. All kids who wanted to be on the team and compete, were given the opportunity whether they were varsity or JV. Once the season was over and after the banquet, then the kids were free from that sport. My DD had so much fun, and loved the team and the coaches. She loved how close the girls on the teams became despite different ages. [/quote]
