[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St John's is $23,000.

Gonzaga is $25,000

But as pointed out above St John's is not very similar to the group of schools most think of as DC area private schools. (St Albans, Sidwell, Maret, Holton Arms, Landon, etc)

In many ways, it's more similar to a suburban public high school than it is to what most people think of as a private school.

It's a great school if you are interested in a Catholic school and you want an alternative to the public schools.[/quote]

SJC has a definite public school field--but without the behavioral issues. [/quote]

Having sent two kids to SJC (they attended local public schools for elementary), I’d say there is definitely a difference with public not just based on behavior, but also community. At SJCHS, the teachers and administration will definitely know your kid, and there is an emphasis on helping others and supporting everyone in the community. People are happy to be there. [/quote]

SJC is NOT like a suburban public high school and no one who has attended or sent a kid thinks so.  It is a private college prep catholic HS with a great reputation for community, service, sports, theater, and its military program.  Most kids are genuinely happy to be there.  Size alone wouldn’t let it be compared to any DMV suburban public high school.[/quote]
