[quote=Anonymous][b]I know this is a very hard question to answer, but what are the four or five typical colleges for the top non-recruited athlete at Prep to attend. Same question for Gonzaga.  [/b]

Great question.  If you take a close look at Prep's academics, class engagement, and general student body, it is not as strong as many believe.  I have heard concerns from families with regards to PP's questions.  My concerns with the school first began when I heard that some alumni were no longer interested in Prep for their sons.  I still think Prep is a good school; just not great, especially academically.  The strong focus on sports may have attracted the athletes, but turned off the truly strong academic students and over time weaken the academic program.  While the school tauts it is a "homework driven school", lots of homework does not equate with a great or even good school.  While sports is one part of a students life, I wish Prep and to a larger extent our culture in general, didn't give it the importance it has.  Just look at the how the conversations on this forum degenerates when sports is brought up.  The priorities seem wrong. [/quote]
