From my experience, it really is all about the clubs the players are on not the high school teams.  College coaches recruit at tournaments and showcases not high school games.  I don’t see much value in transferring to a private school unless the parents view it as a better education.  Seems like we have some private school parents here on the public school board talking trash.  I hope you are enjoying the long commute to private school for the rare possibility that your kid plays for a top D1 program.  There arent a ton of top d1 recruits for dc area private schools either beyond SSSA.  [/quote]

Agree the high school - whether private or public is less important than club. However, because the competition is so much better in the privates the kids become much better. Iron sharpens iron. Kids don’t get better beating other bad public schools by 15+ every game. [/quote]

I did a quick search of the rosters of the top ranked teams from last season to see how many Virginia girls are on those rosters and whether they attended public or private schools.  I also did the three highest ranked teams in the Northern Virginia area. Here is what I found:

1) Northwestern - 0
2) UNC - 1 (Stone Ridge (private))
3) Maryland - 0
4) Johns Hopkins - 3 (St Stephens (private), Georgetown Visi (private), Meridian (public))
5) Colorado - 1 (Stafford (public))
6) Navy - 3 (St. Stephens (private), St. Annes Belfield (private), Meridian (public))
7) Stoney Brook - 0
8) Syracuse - 1 (St. Annes Belfied (private))
9) Michigan - 4 (Potomac School (private), Georgetown Visi (private), St. Annes Belfield (private), Chantilly (public))
10) Stanford - 0

13 Total (9 private, 4 public)

15) JMU - 6 (Oakton (public), Douglas Freeman (public), Woodson (public), Atlee (public), Madison (public), Kettle Run (public))
21) UVA - 6 (St Annes Belfield (2) (private), St Stephens (2) (private), Covenant (private), Western Albemarle (public))
27) Georgetown - 2 (Collegiate (private), Dominion (public))

14 total (8 public/6 private)

I don't know if this is super scientific but I think it reiterates the point that if you can play and are athletic enough, they will find you.  [/quote]
